"...Translated from Korean, this beautiful fable explores the need for companionship and the inevitability of death. With a mix of panels and full-page spreads, Lee’s loose, digital art makes fantastic use of the format, capturing both the exuberance of the good times and Tiger’s grief...A gorgeously told story of the people who come into your life for a reason" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"...In a mix of straightforward comics-style panels and animated spreads, Tiger and Tail-Flower’s adventures culminate in a thoughtful examination of friendship and grief that teems with tongue-in-cheek humor and joy.
