Sprite and the Gardener is a whimsical story featuring the sprite Wisteria as she tries to achieve her wish of caring for a garden like the sprites did in the past before humans. The story is charming and has a great message for kids and parents alike. The artwork was beautiful and really added to the storytelling. This book is perfect for fans of the Tea Dragon Society.

This was such an absolute joy to read! The story is wholesome and adorable, with a fairytale vibe, just what I enjoyed reading! The art itself was so cute and lovely!

Now I love a Graphic Novel so when I saw The Sprite and the Gardener I just knew that I wanted to read it. The story was a bit short for my liking and I really got a bit bored as nothing really seemed to happen until the middle of the book. I would of given it 2 stars but it's saving grace was the stunning artwork it really made the story that more readable. This could of been really special if the writing matched . As for the messages in it I really didn't care.

For all the above reasons I give The Sprite and the Gardener 3 stars.

This is a very sweet and happy graphic novel. Wisteria is a new sprite to town and where she moved the gardens are already beautiful and lovely. There are nothing for sprites to do. Out exploring her new home, she finds the yard next-door that needs help. She also meets a gardener with a nice smile who doesn’t quite know how to garden. She helps bring the garden to life with only the magic that sprites can do, and ends up making new friends. She also brings the sprites and other garden loving people together. This is a sweet story with not a lot to it. The artwork is beautiful. Tt’s soft and flowery. It feels like watercolor while not feeling like water color. All together the book just works for anybody who likes sweet stories of Sprite.

This graphic novel has some of the best artwork I've seen in a while. There were times during my reading when I stopped to admire the pages. I think this story being as short as it is still gave the audience enough to root for. The relationship between the humans and the sprites was strengthened through the alliance of the sprite and gardener. While I do wish the story was longer, I still recommend this to anyone starting their graphic novel journey.

Such a great book! I enjoyed reading this one so much! I highly recommend this book. Side note: the cover!!!!

I've had the same feeling reading this as I had when I read The tea dragon society for the first time. The drawings and colors are beautiful, but the story is too. I loved the relationship between Wisteria and Elena.

I am so glad I was given the chance to read this adorable comic about faires and humans working together, the art style was wonderful, and I definitely believe I need to borrow or purchase a copy again, so I can read it again.

This is the cutest Spring / Summer graphic novel you will pick up this year.

The story was ever so sweet; Wisteria being a new sprite in town feeling like she doesn't quite fit in with the Sprites who already live there and have their own friendship group, as well as the fact that the original job of Sprites - looking after and tending to the surrounding nature - has been over taken by the humans caring for their own gardens. In such a short read we see a very charming friendship and symbiosis between human and sprite unfold.

The artwork was incredible and cheery. I loved the style, each sprite having their own distinct look that reflects their fauna name. Absolutely adored the colour, and another thing to note is that there is so much detail gone into each and every page - I could honestly get lost in this book just staring at how each individual page is stunning. Once this book releases next month I truly hope prints might become available because I need this artwork on my walls.

Overall, I am obsessed with this book. The storyline is sweet and adorable, the artwork has me gobsmacked and in love, and this is honestly what is needed to bring a little bit of sunshine and nature during a walled in 2021.

This was a sweet simple book about a fairy who doesn't fit in & wants to help a gardener who struggles to raise a garden. There's more lore and background to it, but that is the basic gist of the story. It is worth a read but is very simple and short. A good purchase for a library where more artsy graphic novels are popular, or where there are fans of magic or gardens.

really beautifully illustrated and a sweet, meaningful story - I'd really recommend this and anything else the authors create

The Sprite and The Gardener by Rii Abrego and Joe Whitt is a short graphic novel about friendship, kindness, and the things we can accomplish when we all work together, explored through the beauty of gardens and the delight of magic. It's a gentle fantasy story and it is incredibly sweet, expressing its messages with soft language and gorgeous images. Appropriate for younger readers and highly enjoyable for older readers looking for something soft.

Perfect for fans of works like The Tea Dragon Society and Taproot. Definitely recommended!

This is incredibly sweet. It definitely gives me Tea Dragon Society vibes. Keep the sweet cottage core graphic novels coming!

Confesso que, antes de tudo, Sprite and the Gardener me cativou pela capa. É belíssima! E a história não fica muito atrás. A história é interessante, possui uma arte linda e é mágica. Gostei demais.

This is the kind of Graphic Novel that can be enjoyed by a younger audience and adults alike. It has gorgeous and emotive artwork while the story is complete in this installment without needing a sequel, something that is always appreciated.
Anyone who has ever been a new kid on the block will empathize with Wisteria, who is new to a particular area and has no do-you-remember stories to share with the rest of the sprites. She questions the use of their time and talent when she stumbles upon a girl struggling to bring her garden up to scratch. Wisteria starts to help covertly at first. What happens next is the main core of this short novel.
It is a feel-good story, with some touching moments, and its focus on friendship and teamwork is done well.
I would recommend it to anyone on the lookout for a semi-light graphic novel with attractive imagery.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

Sprite and the Gardener is a warm and charming graphic novel, perfect for fans of The Tea Dragon society. The color palette was magical and truly transported me as a reader. A lovely read about the power of community and connecting with nature.

The only flaw this book has is a lack of conflict but with these stunning illustrations and hopeful story, i can’t help but gave it four stars.

This is such a sweet tale, and even though it's short, it touches on many elements of life and experience. The art is breathtaking, and the story is beautiful. I would love to see more collaborations from these two artists in the future. If you love K O'Neill's work or Keezy Young's work ("Taproot" in particular), be sure to give this a read.

Sprite and the Gardener was one of my favorite graphic novel reads of the first half of the year! The art style really called to me, and the story that accompanied the artwork was so whimsical and cozy, like a comforting hug. I am partial to magical stories surrounding gardens and plants, so that immediately stood out to me. I also appreciated the content at the end of the book about the creative process and creating the graphic novel, as I love that insight "behind the scenes."

Umm, can I have a Sprite to help me with my garden, too?! I wasn't sure I would like this book much as I'm not usually into fantasy, but this is a sweet story about building a community!
