Hell yeah.

You know that evil little voice in your head that tells you all the reasons you shouldn’t do a thing? Lucy Bellwood made a whole book about thwarting that demon’s plans. It’s a cute little book to keep on hand when you need to tell your own little demon to shut the hell up.

These little existential comics are cute and sad and funny and moving. Our alien friend is sent to Earth to observe humans, but he only befriends trees and animals. He understands much about life on Earth: we’re too busy being busy and not focusing on being happy instead. I highly recommend reading this on the beach or near a pool.

This book jumped off the shelf just when I needed it. I hadn’t been able to read for weeks, and bam, here’s the gorgeous graphic novel companion to [b:Speak|439288|Speak|Laurie Halse Anderson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1310121762l/439288._SY75_.jpg|118521], one of the first books to get me to love reading when I was an angsty teen. And then I found it in a new form, waiting for me, ready to show me how to love reading again. It is perfect.
