The story followed a kind sprite who started helping a human girl, secretly at first, who hoped to please her sick mother who was sick to tend their garden anymore. In the Philippines, plant parents are called “Plantito” = Plant+Tito (Uncle) and “Plantita” = Plant+Tita (Auntie). This graphic novel is for the plantito and plantita in all of us. It highlights the importance of cooperation and harmonious community.
The Sprite and the Gardener is a short but sweet tale of blooming friendship between a sprite and a human gardener. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I would like to thank Oni Press for the review copy. Join our neighborhood of sprites in this beautiful, gentle fantasy where both gardens and friendships begin to blossom. The Sprite and the Gardener, the debut graphic novel by Joe Whitt and Rii Abrego, is bursting with whimsical art and vibrant characters. But her newly honed skills might not be the welcome surprise she intends them to be.
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 when humans appeared and began growing their own gardens, the sprites’ magical talents soon became a thing of the past. Long, long ago, sprites were the caretakers of gardens.
