The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt
5.0
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
In the utterly charming graphic novel, THE SPRITE AND THE GARDENER, gardening sprites are not quite as needed as they once were. People have taken it upon themselves to tame nature, and so sprites spend their days enjoying sun rays and finding the prettiest blossoms. Wisteria, a sprite new to the area, finds herself on the outside of the local group and eventually begins trying to help a failing flower garden flourish.
This is a story with a lovely moral about friendship and opening yourself up to new possibilites. The artwork is just... stunning-- every page feels like it's own masterpiece. Lush and so vivid it feels like you could just step into the picture, TSATG is a true delight to read and experience. This books is perfect for people who love beautiful graphic novels, elementary or middle school readers, or people who want to live in a Studio Ghibli film!!
