"A delightful flower-scented tale of community and harmony with nature." — Katie O'Neill, creator of the Tea Dragon Society series Long, long ago, sprites were the caretakers of gardens. Every flower was grown by their hand. But when humans appeared and began growing their own gardens, the sprites’ magical talents soon became a thing of the past. When Wisteria, an ambitious, kind-hearted sprite, starts to ask questions about the way things used to be, she’ll begin to unearth her long-lost talent of gardening. But her newly honed skills might not be the welcome surprise she intends them to be. The Sprite and the Gardener, the debut graphic novel by Joe Whitt and Rii Abrego, is bursting with whimsical art and vibrant characters. Join our neighborhood of sprites in this beautiful, gentle fantasy where both gardens and friendships begin to blossom.

This was a really cute short story about flower and plant fairies. The artwork is so cute and I had such a funtime reading this
This was so wholesome!!! I recommend this if you like K O'Neill's works.
Breathtaking art and a cute story!! I wish sprites would come visit my house. I'd love to see some veggies sprites too. I be they'd be so cute!
Lovely story, lovely art. Could be an opportunity to talk with kids about helping friends, doing thoughtful things for loved ones and environmental stewardship (not quite Ferngully levels), but can also just be a moment to enjoy pretty pictures (Art Nouveau vibes) and optimistic endings.
