I would love to see more about Shrimp Car and The Troubles of Horse-Girl

I just love browsing other artist’s work and Shaun Tan always has a dark whimsy to his art that I adore

I fell in love with Trung’s work after reading The Magic Fish and was so excited to see another story from him. Another sweet, emotional story with characters that you fall in love with. Even in such a short story there is so much depth to each character and so many human experiences are explored. It can really meet several readers wherever they’re at.

I also loved how the story relies heavily on healthy communication. It feels refreshing to see characters address problems the way we all should be with one another.

I just adore this story so much I could ramble forever <33

The full spreads in this book are breathtaking. I also enjoyed the story and the characters we got to follow!!

Worth the read! The story is easy to finish in one sitting and leaves anyone who can relate to feeling a sense of constant dismissible unease comforted in the end.

This book was straight forward and easy to digest but I only found bits and pieces of it useful. I mostly skipped around to sections I needed to define more in my life, but I felt as though half the advice could only be applied if I were building my house from scratch so it wasn’t very practical in that sense. I wish it had more about the declutterring aspect and what to keep and discard, as I feel the book skimmed over that part quickly and is what I needed the most. Probably just not the right book for me!

I’m sorry I am simply not feeling it 😭😭 I think the idea is very cute and it is written well with a good art style but I could not connect with the story at all personally

The horror of being a woman, truly.

I need more of everything this book was.

If you can’t point and say “this is us” to your friend or partner for any of these, you need new people in your life. This is what it’s all about.
