Many science fiction and fantasy art books that were published in the past two years are only making their way to the shores of Locus now.
Given the difficulties, challenges, and complications of printing, shipping, etc. during the pandemic years, every book that arrives is, to borrow a phrase, a hallelujah.
Every Leaf a Hallelujah is a journey into bold color and imagery filled with constant rewards.
The tale by Nigerian novelist Ben Okri, a Booker Prize winner for The Famished Road, follows young Mangoshi’s brave journey into the forest to find a magical flower that is the cure for her mother’s illness. Her journey provides lessons about botany, ecology, and the beauty and importance of trees as a precious resource that must be defended and protected.
