Deborah Marcero

PreS-Gr 2—The sequel to In a Jar finds the hero with more emotional extremes than he knows what to do with, and
his solution—to shove every one of them into jars—is creating an arsenal of small bombs. Marcero offers a new spin
on exploring one's emotions, not locking them away, and promotes the importance of sharing them instead.

Although I think the very end was a tad lacking in delivering a solid message or emphasis on any given theme, all the other other elements of this book were beautiful! The artwork is just stunning, using watercolors in the dreamiest ways to convey emotions, changing seasons, memories, and even nostalgia. The story is charming and honest, and the earnest frankness of the characters friendship is heartwarming through and through. :,)

This early chapter book/graphic novel is a gentle story about friendship, with a little bit of astronomy thrown in.

I love love love the artwork in this book!
