The Sprite and the Gardener by Joe Whitt, Rii Abrego
4.0
hopeful inspiring lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was a delightful story about the magic of working together as a community to create something beautiful. Its writing is minimal but the art is gorgeous eye candy. The characters are expressive and starry eyed, and I adore how Abrego draws Wisteria's curls. The use of color and light was beautiful and dynamic, and left me with a sense of happiness and wonder reading each page. It seems this story is marketed towards kids, but I'm sure it will be enjoyed by readers of every age. I'll definitely read it again myself.
