"A lone, defenseless pupa has rained down from the sky. An assembly of talking birds and trees agree to protect ""Dolly"" as it begins to evolve — but into what? As the humanoid creature starts showing a predilection for flight and music, magical clues start unveiling themselves. Italian award-winning cartoonist Leila Marzocchi's terrifically lush scratchboard drawings are a perfect companion to her witty dialogue and profound storytelling. Nymph gets to the heart of both human and Mother Nature to prove that, to raise a child-like larva, it takes a village. Or at least a forest."

Reviews for Nymph (GN)

"A dreamy, childlike fantasy with a bracingly adult perspective, the comic defies categorization, metamorphosing like its heroine in strange and unexpected ways.-- ""Publishers Weekly"" In the stories of Leila Marzocchi, the composition, the characters, the use of light and colors denote great imagination and enormous intelligence.-- ""Sequart"" This heartwarming fantasy, filled with amusing and distinct characters, is a tale of found family, the importance of working together as a community, and finding your true self.-- ""Booklist"""
