Taproot: A Story About A Gardener and A Ghost by Kerry Young

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Taproot is a MLM graphic novel about a gardener, Hamal, who can see ghosts but doesn’t know why. One day he meets a ghost, Blue, who gets attached to him and they become friends and end up falling in love. The Forest starts dying and Hamal has to figure out how to save it before the reaper takes his life as revenge. 

I absolutely adored this graphic novel. The art is so beautiful, I loved the characters and it’s such a good storyline!! I’d love to see more done with this, there’s so much potential for it to be turned into a series and if that ever does happen I will definitely be supporting it! This has great representation in it including MLM; POC; Plus size; Black; Asian; & Muslim - Hijabi. I also really loved the colour palette. And I especially loved all of the extra infor about the character designs and the colour palette at the end of the book.
