This was such a beautiful soft tale about community, nature and the small & big joys of working together in the garden. It’s mostly vibes, but those vibes are gorgeous. 

 

Loved the pastel art nouveau style - so lush. So many beautiful little details.

Thank you to Netgalley and the authors for this copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I honestly wish this story was longer! I absolutely loved the premise of the story, the character designs, and the art style!
In this story we follow a sprite who discovers a girl trying to care for her moms dying garden. Sprites in this world used to take care of plants but now that the humans do it they are no longer needed. They also NEVER interact with humans. When the small sprite helps out the girl, she’s overjoyed with how happy she made the human girl. She continues to bring the plants back to life but as she tires herself out helping every night she ends up being seen…
Like I said I loved everything about this graphic novel just wish we got a little bit more.
