review:
'The Dream of the Butterfly Vol. 1: Rabbits on the Moon' by Richard Marazano with illustrations by Luo Yin is a graphic novel about a little girl lost in a strange city.

Tutu wanders away in the snow one day and finds herself in a strange city where animals talk. There are rabbits that are spies, but pretty bad ones. She is forced to take a job in a factory where her job is replacing tired hamsters that are heating the city in their wheels. She has strange dreams and a secret mission to find a butterfly and maybe end the endless Winter plaguing the city.

The story reminds me a bit of an allegory about dictatorships, but it doesn't quite gel. I did like the oddness of the story, though. The art is gorgeous and feels like animated cels from Studio Ghibli.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
