"In this wordless, all-ages graphic novel, our protagonist discovers a leaf that radiates a vibrant life. He returns to a meticulously wrought metropolis -- depicted in somber grays and blues -- and searches for answers. During his quest, he stumbles upon a man who knows what's really happening in the city's labyrinthine ducts; a woman who spends her life studying and classifying obsolete flora; and the truth about the ever-dwindling environment."--Page [4] of cover.

Think I should start reading more wordless grapic books.

The art in this is lovely which should be expected because it has to make up for not having any words or sounds expressed throughout. It's a little bit like poetry where you get more out of it if you take your time and let it marinate a little before moving on. There's probably a few things that I missed or that went over my head, but I would really like to revisit it after I've adjusted to taking in the stories from art and not just written words. It's very easy to grasp the general concept of industry vs nature either way.
