Issunboshi

At the center of Issunboshi is the lesson that there is no one too small to make a positive change. This is an incredible graphic novel that brings the Japanese fairy tale to life. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is well constructed to bring the reader along despite not knowing the cultural and historical context of the story. This would be an incredible book for any middle- or high-school classroom. I was absolutely floored by the artistic choices made that help bring this entire book to life. Visually stunning and incredible story that leaves you wanting to know what is next in the incredible life of Issunboshi.
