Review: I love the art style, I love the story, and I love the friendships. When a small boy moves to a new house, he’s afraid of what might be in the woods, so he sews up a watchman. But then, he’s afraid that the watchman might get lonely…so he sews up another. After doing so, he meets the next door neighbor, and he becomes a little less frightened of what lays beyond.
The use of color (or lack thereof), the use of grayscale, the use of geometrical composition…it’s so good. SO GOOD, Y’ALL. This is definitely the perfect story to read with your little one on a stormy day with some hot cocoa!
