This was a cute, creative, touching origin story! The action moves right along but leaves enough time for the emotional beats of the foster parents, the art studio, the new friendship, etc. The art is warm and vibrant and lively with the perfect touch of cuteness and attitude. I didn't love the ending, just because I didn't want that to be the last word.
