A kind and bit of an inspiration type read. It reminds me of those daily motivational books that will give you a little bit of inspiration for your day with a cute saying or quote.
This feels like that with a little more depth as we travel around with these characters and interactions with each other. The art is from a couple of scribbles to a larger scale work...it was really wonderful to see because the sketchy style reflects a bit of my own but with more natural feel. Great art I thought!
My favorite meeting was the horse. I like how such a big creature feels big and strong with the trees - I noticed that the horses legs and tree trunks have similar style and it was a great way to intro this strong and tall character.
