Reviews
"Debut creator Robinson explores the ups and downs of siblinghood in this lushly illustrated fantasy that’s visually reminiscent of Hildafolk and Steven Universe." —Publishers Weekly
"This graphic novel makes full use of skillful interplay between text and illustration, mirroring feelings of insignificance with expanses of space, and Robinson demonstrates creative exploration of panel size and shape... Contemplations of forgiveness and redemption add thoughtful layers to this fast-paced graphic novel."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"With danger always lurking and illustrations that are full of movement, it’s easy to get quickly swept up into this tale and not want to leave. Enchanting indeed."—Kirkus
"Vibrant colors, imaginative beasts, skilled cartooning, and a well-told story make this a fun, satisfying read."—Booklist
