I love this! Beautiful art, and really sweet characters. Set in Indonesia, Jordan is a basketball star who was in an accident which has led to her using a wheelchair. Jordan still supports her basketball team, but does find herself nostalgic for being able to play competitively. One day, she finds a fluffy white elephant at the playground and takes him home. Marshmallow becomes a supportive friend along her journey to water polo. I enjoyed the twist at the end!
