Critics Review
Praise for Wallflower: A Graphic Novel:
“Ata’s mangalike digital illustrations are visually stunning, especially the beautifully detailed florals and the highly saturated, intensely colored dream sequences.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Author-illustrator Ata (Nayra and the Djinn) has an eye for developing deeply sympathetic protagonists who long to connect with a world that doesn’t seem willing to make space for their individuality.”—BCCB
“The idea that everyone has a psychic flower that needs to be nurtured to thrive is a healthy reminder for young teens to be kinder to themselves… An astute and emotional story of the courage it takes to truly accept oneself and to love others for who they are.”—School Library Journal
“A refreshing take where afflictions and hardships are visually represented by things that, while beautiful, require patience and care.”—Booklist
