Reviews

""Soft lines and simple character designs by Guojing (The Only Child) emphasize JieJie and DiDi's youthful vulnerability and optimism amid a somber landscape devastated by pollution and climate change. The delicate pencil shading evokes a powerful sense of tone and atmosphere, while large uncluttered panels inject a feeling of intimacy even in the vast desert. It's an evocative and moving graphic novel tale of sacrifice and what it means to be a family.""--Publisher's Weekly, starred review ""A thought-provoking, affecting allegory that reflects difficult realities yet is filled with love."" --Kirkus, starred review
