Rabbits on the Moon by Richard Marazano
2.0

Dream of the Butterfly is a story of a little girl named Tutu, who becomes lost and ends up trapped in a town where being a little girl - or being an inhabitant of another town - is a crime worthy of imprisonment. The story feels incredibly reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, in one sense; in another, however, it felt like a blatant nod to many of the Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki films I grew up loving. With that in mind, I thought I'd really enjoy this graphic novel, but unfortunately, it felt very much like an info-dump at times, and I had a hard time getting attached to the story or caring very much about the outcome.

Thank you to Lion Forge and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
