Don't be turned off by its marketing as a middle grade story, because it is without a doubt the sort of tale that could be enjoyed by anyone of any age. I don't know if a graphic novel has ever given me quite as many Feels as Pilu did, but wow, this little story is incredible. As they adventure together, Willow is forced to come to terms with her 'monsters'-the emotions that cause her to lash out at her loved ones or to think poorly of herself-and she must learn how to take care of those feelings and deal with them in a healthy way, without hurting her family. Pilu of the Woods is an MG fantasy graphic novel about a little girl named Willow who gets in a fight with her big sister and goes running off into the woods, where she meets Pilu, a forest spirit. *ARC generously provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review* It is a very colorful, beautiful, cartoony comic and it will enchant and teach your children (or you).Ītmosphere collage aka.

I recommend it to anyone who loves middle-grade graphic novel or who has a child. I gave it 4 stars because I really like it but the ending was a little fast. In through the storyline, Willow will learn how to face them.

This is the reason why she fought with her sister. The monsters are always growing, and if they become so huge, Willow could not handle her emotions anymore and she says out loud her thought. Willow is dealing with her inner monsters. The plot is about how to understand and process the feelings. The more you ignore something, the louder it gets. They get to know each other and find out what will they do. One day she has an awful fight with her sister and Willow runs away into the woods, where she meets the forest spirits who also runs away from home. The other kids in the school are bullying her because she likes books and nature. Skip over this point if you don't like the sneak peek.Ī little girl, Willow, who is dealing with grief. It was cute! Perfect middle-grade book with a valuable lesson.
