The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt

5.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

The Sprite and the Gardener is short and sweet, and full of whimsy! The plot is simple but such a sweet read. A little sprite, feeling a bit like an outsider amount her sprite counterparts, discovers she has a love for gardening. The plot lovingly espouses the joys of community, togetherness, and nurturing plants. I do love how the opening ties in so beautifully with the ending. I don't want to say a lot, for fear of spoiling the plot. I am so in love with the art! The characters all have such wonderful designs, and I love the fashion of the sprites. The vibrant colors are gorgeous as well! I remember seeing the original inspiration for this comic years ago and adored it, so I'm so happy it got made into a full book!
