PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ennun Ana Iurov (she/he/they) is a Romanian illustrator known for their work on the young adult graphic novel Needle & Thread. For over 6 years Ennun has created and self-published short comics and stories focusing mainly on empowering charity zines, working with organizations such as, Action Against Hunger, and others. Ennun’s illustration skills have a wide range from folk tales to dream core to horror and more, and now in Whisper of the Woods will combine all of these talents.
"""The author delivers an exciting work. Iurov’s page-turner effectively familiarizes readers with a Romanian legend as well as some Romanian language, sometimes translated (such as sub casa?, which means basement), which makes the book even more immersive and engrossing. The full-color illustrations are an intriguing contrast to the haunting nature of the story it tells, featuring bright colors and scenes during the daytime, which precede the darkness of the Hoia Baciu forest and other, more off-putting imagery. A well-illustrated and very satisfying horror tale."" * <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> *"
