Mella is a chicken girl, which isn’t so bad, but what she truly desires is to be an artist. Mella envies Datus because he is an artist’s apprentice, even though he can barely draw. But Datus found Mella’s sketches and took full credit for her work. Mella must work hard to become the artist she dreams of becoming and take credit for her work.
This book was an enjoyable read, and I thoroughly liked it. The art style and color palette were beautiful. Among the well-developed characters, my heart truly belonged to the playful stray dog named Blue, whose mischievous antics brought an extra layer of joy and warmth to the tale.
In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a delightful read infused with historical nuances and unforgettable moments. It’s a journey well worth taking!
