I loved this! It's a whimsical graphic novel about sprites who have become disconnected from their past of gardening due to human intervention. One sprite decides to help a girl who is having trouble re-growing their busy mother's garden. But the sprite must be careful as they're not meant to interact with humans. It was a very sweet story. I appreciated the fact that it didn't start by saying that humans caused a sprite genocide or some big war humans weren't aware of. It's a pretty common trope, so it was fun to see something different. The sprites were just chilling lol. I really hope the creative team does more with this world! It has so much potential to be a series.
