While I must confess to not feeling as emotionally attached to this story as I did with Zita’s journey, part of this could be due to Zita’s story and character having more time to develop over the course of three novels. Like Jon Klassen, Dan Santat, Shaun Tan, Julie Morstad, Suzy Lee, or other author/illustrators whose work I find utterly idiosyncratic, Hatke is also carving out quite a niche for his work. Hatke’s illustrations are, as ever, just sublime: appealing, fluid yet precise, with such a particular vitality about them, I feel like I will always recognize an illustration being his work when I see it. #1 New York Times Bestselling author Ben Hatke brings his signature sweetness to a simple, moving story about friendship and overcoming fears that will appeal to readers of all ages.īen Hatke, author and illustrator of the incredible Zita the Spacegirl graphic novel series, brings readers to another wonderfully crafted world with another fearless and capable young female protagonist.
