Reviews

"I particularly appreciated the depth Hesse brought to his environmental advocacy. When Polo discovers the role of mangroves in carbon storage, the comic format vividly illustrates how their destruction could exacerbate global warming. The conversation between Polo and a sustainable rancher about silvopasture and agroforestry also stood out. It was refreshing to see solutions presented alongside problems, which transformed the book into a call to action rather than just a critique. The visual storytelling here was dynamic and engaging, making complex topics feel digestible. " – Literary Titan
