Praise for On Starlit Shores

***STARRED REVIEW*** "Filled with dynamic illustrations and complex characters, and of course, a cute cat, Glendining’s graphic novel soars. This is a beautiful read that explores family bonds and grief and is filled with incredibly detailed background scenery. ...An ­excellent read that thoughtfully approaches the ­discussion of grief and its complexity. Highly recommended."
School Library Journal

***STARRED REVIEW*** "Her emotional arc is poignant and presented in a way that readers will find extraordinarily relatable. Glendining’s remarkable illustrations render each character distinctive...Stunning from beginning to end."
Kirkus Reviews

Saturated colors and a sophisticated style of illustration are well suited to a whimsical yet grounded story that begs to be read in one sitting. Accessible to a wide range of readers; emotional and warm.
Booklist

Readers who are struggling with loss or feeling guilty about not taking advantage of the time they could have had with a loved one will find this to be a compassionate invitation to spend time remembering joyful moments over self-recrimination.
