A must-buy for any collection, Lamb’s historical fiction novel brings soft queer joy to a compelling tale of immigrants and unions and Jewish folklore.
Taking readers back to 2001, this debut novel of magical realism presents an exquisite exploration of Mexican storytelling and a girl’s coming-of-age as she learns to trust herself and find her way through her family’s history.
A great recommendation for fans of Studio Ghibli or graphic novel series such as Jaimal Yogis’s “City of Dragons” and Mark and Alexis Siegel’s “5 Worlds.” Recommended purchase.
Highly recommended for today’s youth looking to understand the recent past and for adults seeking to see themselves represented in a time when there was little to no representation for LGBTQIA+ persons in writing.
Like Sheila Moore’s classic Samson Svenson’s Baby, this story proves there is a lid for every pot, and even young children will warm to the story of love thawing two chilly people.
An extraordinary work for every shelf; subtle and poetically less direct than other works in its treatment of death, this book stands out for the depth of its wise messages, and its gentle, evocative art.
