The illustrations in this book are amazing! The story is about Boris. His parents find him on the edge of a swamp and bring him home to be their child. But years later Boris feels a calling for the swamp. So he leaves home to find himself as he truly is. I can see this as a metaphor for adoption, or even for a trans child, but it’s overt. The only thing that put me off, is that the story seems to end half way though, so the metaphor is not complete. Overall I like the story, I just wish there was more of it.
