4.5

There was so much diverse communication rep in this book. Diverse rep as a whole as well. While the "narrator" of each page was different each time, there was also a lot of diverse representation of different types of children and adults in the background and surroundings of every page. At the very end, the detailed information about all the different forms of communication featured in the book is included as well, for a guide for adults and children alike to expand on the content of the book. Overall, a great book with fantastic representation of disability, connection, and communication. Great way to affirm and introduce adults and children alike to these things.

(ARC from Edelweiss, thank you)

it was okay? not horrible really, but just not quite my cup of tea

def felt like something i could chuckle at reading the little snippets of comics as like a post i’d see sometimes, but reading a whole book of it in one sitting just wasn’t for me

looooooved this very much 

the autism rep is fantastic, and i love the 4th wall breaking constantly and the awareness of ‘what to do in the conflict of the plot’ due to our mc being very well aware of stories and fandoms of her own, plus the way everything ended up was fantastic 

(art was very lovely in style and layout and colors too ofc)

this was soooo cute 

it’s got decent length for a children’s book while also keeping the dialogue and action simple and easy to follow too
