I may be crying a little because of how soft and pure this book is. My heart grew warm reading it, I love everything about it, the unique characters, the magical world withing us. The art is really beautiful it makes me want to climb into the story and live with it. I have such an immense love for this book wow. I have just one thing to say: READ THIS BOOK.

This is such a gorgeously done story that you can forget, for a moment, that it is a sad story, as well. A story of how we have over fished our seas. A story of how the coral is dying. A story of storms that get worse every year because of how we have messed up the environment.

And while it starts out as a typical middle-grade story, of a girl who has lost her mother, and who has come with her father to help rebuild a village that was hit by a huge story, as we get into the story, we realize there is something odd about the thing that the aunt calls a seahorse. It is like no seahorse we have every seen.

And, then, we see the Aquicorn's full size, and realize there is more to this story about cleaning up after a story, then meets the eyes.

A charming environmental story done by the author of Tea Dragon Society. And yes it has strong women, and yes it has LGBTQ thrown in as well.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This was the most adorable and heartwarming story I read in a while, and the art is fantastic! I wish there was more of it. Finished it dying to read everything Katie O'Neill has ever worked on :)
