Enjoy! ( )

Completely beautiful drawings rendering a captivating world. But I just didn't get it. What exactly happened? I have no idea. ( )

Història sense paraules. Al•legoria sobre el món modern que viu d’esquenes a la natura i que ha de recuperar la relació amb ella, conservant-la. Delicada, pausada , explicada mitjançant un dibuix preciós, potser demana un esforç per comprendre la història, però t’acaba calant com la pluja fina.. ( )

3.5. Over-generalizing with the term "comics," but whatever. ( )

I picked this up at the library because it looked beautiful and thought it would be a quick read--no words! However, I found it a little difficult to follow the story in places; I found myself rereading the summary on the back cover about five times. The story is about a young boy who lives in a drab world of grays and blues. One day he discovers a leaf of yellow, which symbolizes to him a new way of doing things, perhaps a new way of powering the world. With the help of an old man and a young girl, he discovers it's maybe not so new as he thought, but it's definitely something important. And an unlucky mistake gives him a way to send it out into the world.

Though parts of the story were a little confusing to me, I still enjoyed the story. And the art is just amazing! I loved the elements of environment and technology portrayed through images and the bravery of youth. A beautiful read, even though I'm still not 100% sure I understood it all ;-) ( )
