5 stars I fell in love with this book the moment I saw it. The colors, the designs, the characters, the message. It is just what we needed in the world. The message of body positivity and loving yourself is not necessarily new to children’s literature, but I’ve need seen it presented in a way…

5 stars Loved it. Absolutely loved it. This is the first book I’ve read of Selznick’s. I picked it up after researching books to add to an International Week of the Deaf display for my library. I loved the combination of story told through words and story told through pictures. It was exceptionally fitting for…

5 stars Another absolutely adorable collection of relatable comics about being in a relationship. I really enjoy Catana Chetwynd’s style of drawing and humor, and this collection is everything I love about it. From odd snuggle positions, the struggles of winter, rough days, a love of coffee (and each other), sharing a pet’s affection, and…

5 stars I love reading Tysoe’s comics on Webtoon and Instagram so I was super pumped when I saw she’d put together a book collection.

5 stars Damn. Another excellently-crafted work from West. I am so thankful Lindy West is on this planet. She has such a way of cutting through all the B.S. to call out what is wrong, doing so in a way that is humorous and entertaining without taking away from her message. Pulling from pop culture,…

A hilarious, entertaining, interesting, and fascinating read exploring oddly specific questions you never thought to ask. The book blends mathematics, science, and history to create an extraordinary journey (with plenty of things blowing up along the way)….

5 stars What an absolutely gorgeous book! I love the Hilda graphic novels, the Netflix adaptation, and the tie-in novels, so when I saw there was a Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them-style book of creatures, I was all in. This book did not disappoint. The illustrations are phenomenal. I really enjoyed the aesthetic. My…

5 stars Another adorable collection of Catana Comics! This series is so cute, heartfelt, and relatable. Covering topics such as morning routines, a deep love of food, getting in each other’s way, and just being your own weirdo self, this is such a sweet book. As with the first collection, there were so many times…

5 stars Absolutely adorable! I lost count of the number of times I went to my husband with a comic from this book with exclamations of “This one is us”, “We do this all the time”, and “See? It’s not weird I do that. Other people do it too!” This little book is so full…
