This is an early chapter graphic novel. It is simply lovely. This is not my first Otis and peanut book but I think it’s the first in the series. There are three mini stories. The second story the swing is heartbreakingly beautiful. It’s about loss. Otis, misses Pearl. We don’t know who Pearl is or why Otis misses them. We just know that Pearl is not around and Otis is sad. Peanut tries to help the best way that they can. Comes up again in the last story, but only momentarily. This book was beautiful both in illustration and in wording. This is a group of characters. I hope to see more in the future.
