PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ellinor Richey loves bringing imaginary things to life, whether this be through game concepts, comic art or ink illustrations. When not thinking about comics, she loves thinking about animation, playing the clarinet and pine trees in sunsets. She lives with her plants in a small studio apartment overlooking the Gothenburg harbor in Sweden.
A story of memory, belonging, patience, and oddly enough, recycling... Richey's delightfully odd characters and increasingly strange landscapes cultivate a rich sense of atmosphere. Highly recommended for teens and adults who want to learn how to be brave. - Booklist (starred review) Visually enticing and creative... the concept is fascinating and fresh. - Kirkus Reviews The book's distinctive art style is a detailed, appealing visual feast... a bizarre and imaginative graphic novel about growing up. - Foreword Reviews This Swedish graphic novel uses color in brilliant ways... Give this genre-fluid tale to horror, science fiction, and fantasy buffs, or even realistic fiction readers who don't mind their family explorations or coming-of-age stories souped up with some supernatural elements. - Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
