So cute, loved this adorable and vivid tale!! I loved this book, from its cover to the storyline and the lovable characters

Once upon a time, fairies tended to the garden. Nowadays, they don't really know what to do - until a new fairy in town shakes things up.

This was so cute, adorable and calming. The colour palette is made up of very soft tones, very pastel, and the illustrations are very detailed but still not overwhelming. I love how different each fairy looks, even the littlest side character has their own thing going on.

Very positive story, was fun to read and I'm sure I'll come back to this in the future.

LOOK👏🏽 AT👏🏽 THAT👏🏽 PRETTY 👏🏽COVER!👏🏽

Wisteria & her sprite friends are so cute, this little story is so adorable, the art style is absolutely delightful, I want more, please!

I'm a sucker for amazing graphics and then I'm a sucker for supporting debut artists- mix them- & boom!

As I finished this, I immediately headed to Twitter to look up those artists- and now I'm head over heels in love with everything that Rii has put into existence.

This was such a thrilling and cute graphic novel. The art style was magnificent and the tale was woven together like none other. It seemed absolutely perfect and every page turn merely made me yearn for more and more. 

To find faults within this would be a crime but I must definitely comment on how pacing was a little awkward. Nonetheless, the characters definitely carried and spiralled my adoration for it by miles!

the sprite and the gardener is an absolute joy!!

it's something of a fairytale. we are introduced to the colorful fairy sprites who used to be the sole caretakers of earth's plants, but who have become inactive now that humans are gardeners. the story follows one particular sprite, wisteria, who wants to work alongside humans and tend the flora together.

the art here is absolutely beautiful. it seems to be inspired by classic fairytale art, except the sprites have diversity!! their dynamic facial expressions are wonderful, and vibrant colors bring both the characters and the plants to life.

definitely a quick read, but i smiled and chuckled throughout. it's a nice meditation on the elation that comes with bringing joy to others.

what could be better than friendships that bloom over the love and care of plants??

Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was just SO lovely.
If you like good and tender stories with beautiful art, you must have to read this. 
All the art and the characters were just precious, I'm literally speechless.
Please, give an opportunity to this beauty.

Brilliant illustrations!!!
I really enjoyed reading this one!

I was provided an advanced digital copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley for review purposes, all opinions are my own.

Sprite and the Gardener is a gentle whimsical story that will leave you smiling. It follows the blooming friendship between a little sprite and a struggling human gardener. I would recommend it to both children and adults because of how heartwarming it is. 

The artwork is breathtaking and it’s unlike any graphic novel I’ve seen before. If you love fairies, flowers and pastels, you will enjoy this book from start to finish. Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy in exchange for a review.

Thank you Netgalley and Oni Press for providing me this arc exchange with my honest review!

This is the bookish equivalent of the feeling of being wrapped in a cozy blanket!!

It's not super exciting or like the books that have a "Wow!" effect but it made me feel at home with its lovely story of friendship, helping each other, and the value of working hard for something precious. Also, I especially love how the characters look like the plants they namesake. They all look so adorable! And besides that, it's a story that can readers from all age ranges can enjoy or English level in my case. Because English is not my native lang and even if I can read almost anything easily, my little brother (11yo) cannot. So, I want him to improve his self-confidence by reading this kind of shorter book and I think it will be perfect for him too.

My only complaint about this book is that it's too short!! Oh, and even if its color palette is so calming with all that pastel colors, pink is not my fav, so I felt as if I'm drowning in pink a little bit. But it's more like an "It's not about you, it's about me," kinda situation

Gorgeous story about a sprite and a human who work together to restore a garden to it’s former glory. Beautifully cute art style, good lessons learnt along the way, really lovely read. Would recommend and read any further work by this author/artist pair.

I received an arc copy of this book from Oni Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

This beautiful graphic novel follows an eager sprite’s wish to grow gorgeous flowers while making friends along the way. It’s such a heartwarming story which is perfect for anyone looking to break away from the mundanity of everyday life and learn to see the beauty within it.


I fell in love with the art style, which is not uncommon for the artists work. The colour palette, art style and the composition of the panels kept me engaged and added a great deal to the story. This was particularly important as the story is very much character centric, as opposed to plot based. Although I usually prefer a more developed, faster storyline, the cuteness and the calm tone kept me interested.

We see a little character development with our protagonist and the gardener, however I wish the side characters had been a little more fleshed out. In saying this, I did see personalities form across this volume which was great.

I hope a sequel is in the works as I will definitely be picking it up, mostly to see the artwork and in hopes of seeing an extension of the plot. I would highly recommend this novel to both fans of graphic novels or those new to the format. I gave Sprite and the Gardener 4.5/5 stars.

Beautifully drawn graphic novel, so cute and heart-warming! The art is stunning and magical, the layouts are one-of-a-kind and the colors uniquely soothing. A beautiful kids book with fairies, teamwork, and beautiful gardens. Warm fuzzy feelings hit you with every frame in this graphic novel and I only wish it was longer!!!

A magical story brimming with such sweetness—a whimsical narrative about what the world could be. 

From the beginning of the Sprite and the Gardener, I was thoroughly enthralled and bewitched. It was as if a spell was cast upon me the moment I turned from the first page and onwards. The illustrations were beyond any of my wildest dreams, as it draws your eyes in with its playfulness and beauty. Even the slightest of linearts, and the smallest of details was enough to render me speechless. The colours were also brilliant, the melody of the chosen palette flowed effortlessly well—a masterful song uninterrupted. The character designs were unique, each and every character representing individuals from the margins. People who grew up, and are still growing up not seeing themselves in the media—they are here in this book. Here, they have a voice. 

Wisteria is the kind of protagonist your heart yearns to protect—a person you want to be. She is the epitome of wholesomeness. She sets her eyes on her dreams, to help with her kind heart, and knows deep inside, that the world has so much potential and could be so much more. She is adorable and honestly—I could not stop grinning at the sheer cuteness that is her character. Meanwhile, Elena is another person who just warms your soul. Her love for her mother pushed her to pick up gardening, and she was willing to do anything to achieve that. Whilst her mother’s love for gardening might be the origin of her motivation, it then turns out that Elena would find a newfound love for gardening for herself. 

All in all, this book was not only a wonderful escape into a new world—but it is also a reminder, that even in a world full of darkness, of pain and of loss—there is still room for sweetness—a gentle reminder that there is still room for change.

It was sweet story filled with stunning illustrations. But I felt that there was no plot in the book, just some cute sprites helping grow trees. I wish the book was longer with some plot. Other than that it was a good book, pleasing to the eyes, and very quick to read.

Sprite and the Gardener is an adorable book about nature, gardening and community. The art is beautiful and the story simple but uplifting. The back cover has a blurb from the author of the Tea Dragon Society, and I’d recommend it to fans of the series, as the relaxed pacing, nature based stories and message of craftsmanship and teamwork are similar. 

This comic would be a lovely gift for a gardener or any witchy types in your life.

Super cute, I needed this!  Beautiful art, lovely friendships, and two lonely people becoming friends and learning how to interact with the people around them as well.  There’s not a complicated story here but what is in the comic is wonderful nonetheless! I would happily read more.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Oni Press for a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions stated are entirely my own. I really enjoyed this book. I thought the illustrations were very good and the colors used were really pretty. The story is all about gardening sprites and their relationship with humans and their magic. The story was really cute and displayed important themes of teamwork, friendship, and getting along with others no matter your differences. I think this is a really good graphic novel and the illustrations and colors are honestly their own beautiful aesthetic.

Sprite and the Gardener is a cute little story about a sprite named Wisteria.  In the old days, sprites used to care for gardens themselves, but once humans moved in, they took over.  Wisteria stumbles upon a garden who is in need of help and starts to help it flourish, all for the young gardener Elena. 

This is a short little story with beautiful, delicate drawings that really transport you into this world.  The flowers are drawn beautifully, and all the sprites are so cute and unique!! They all have plant names and a diverse range of shapes, skin colors and talents.  And the same with the humans!  This story is ultimately about how, to create something beautiful, you don't always need to work alone.  I love this moral and think it's one that we deserve to hear more.

Ultimately, if you want to see some gorgeous artwork and read a nice little heartwarming story, I really recommend Sprite and the Gardener!

The Sprite and the gardener is a bite sized graphic novel that is short on pages but high in positivity and the importance of helping each other. I loved the illustrations, they are detatlied incredibly coloured and full of whimsy. 

This book emphasises asking your friends for help when things get to difficult to manage alone and in these trying times this is such an important thing to remember. Though a quick read, this sacrine story is full of feelings, from wanting to fit in with your friends, to having to admit you can't do it all alone. 

Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

Wow, the story was adorable but the art had me in awe. It was so beautiful not only the simplicity of the detailing but the coloring of the graphic novel was phenomenal. Honestly if you’re a reader, an artist or even both I recommend reading this. It is something that i could see myself looking through and admiring with my grandma so of course I had to love it.
