Really lovely art that works extremely well with the subject matter to get across what something feels like. Also really like a lot of the text, though occasionally I found the speech bubbles distracting and breaking the meter of the text. I'm also torn about the "inciting incident" of the swing story. The author mentions this is a true story in the back matter, and while it seems worth telling, I'm not sure how well it fits with the rest of THIS book. It is very specific in a way the rest is not.
