Es un comic que habla de la perdida, la vida, la guerra, el amor... y el duelo.

Me ha gustado mucho, se lee muy rapido y el arte es precioso y curioso, es lo que mas me ha llamado.

Me falto algun dialogo mas, para entender del todo el final ya que puede ser algo subjetivo.

In fact I've read Toto which isn't available to review and is new. A lovely picture book book about a donkey who wants to be an astronaut. Very stylised images and very little text. Kindness, overcoming adversity and believing in your dreams.

No estoy segura de haberlo entendido del todo.

This was a really lovely book. Sad, sweet, artistically clever.

If the colors were just a tad different (richer? watercolor?) and the fonts less generic, this would be a five-star book for me. So close.
