This is definitely an adult graphic novel. Because of the art style, which is beautiful, I thought this would be geared towards children but it talks about race and philosophy and has some crude humour that I laughed out loud at. It was completely different form what I expected, but I did think it'd have been lovely if I was able to read this in French (which I could have, but they didn't have that edition at my library). I felt like the translation took a lot of the magical feeling away from it. I thought this would be a predictable, lovely little story but the ending of this honestly took me by surprise and made me tear up a little bit. Gorgeous story with pretty artwork.
