Hard to describe but easy to relate to. It's hard to describe what this is, a dystopian short story about finding peace, fantasy, or perhaps poetry?

Either way, give this a read for yourself. Take a journey to find inner peace around a world that is dark to light.

It's interesting and made me stop and think for a bit afterwards. I mainly just loved the beautiful illustrations and of course the cover is stunning.

Este no es un libro de terror, no del estilo habitual. Pero referencia los horrores del mundo, tales como la guerra, y especialmente las formas en las que escapamos de ellas.

Very atmospheric with some beautiful illustrations. However, I found the "story" to be a bit boring... I can't imagine a child being very interested in it.

A picture book, but wow what a message I’m a few short pages. A message of inner self worth and calmness. Of scared land and self, of healing and finding your inner child. Wow

The artwork is gorgeous. The language is poetic, but not particularly narrative. Younger readers may experience confusion as the outcome is more aesthetic than story-based.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. It is beautiful, and lyrical and the illustrations are ethereal and atmospheric. But...
