In this graphic novel, we follow Helen, 11, on her quest to discover what happened to the "rare bird" who took his own life. I really enjoyed this atmospheric, slow-paced, philosophical book.

Liked the art and writing styles but have mixed (mostly negative) feelings about the whole "story about a dead trans person from the perspective of a cis person" thing... (if Carol Swain is trans, I take this back)

I wonder if there is a book about Emrys's life.

Quietly poignant with great depth of story coming from watching the small details.
