{"product_id":"leaf-daishu-ma-9781606998533","title":"Leaf","description":"How much power does a single man, let alone a single leaf, have in the industrial world? In this wordless, all-ages graphic novel, our protagonist discovers a leaf that radiates a vibrant light. He returns to a detailed 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. \u003cem\u003eLeaf\u003c\/em\u003e is a graphically stunning story that unfolds with a dream-like pace. Shaded in pencil and punctuated by spot colors, drawn in a delicate but concretely realized tonal approach reminiscent of Shaun Tan's \u003cem\u003eThe Arrival\u003c\/em\u003e and Chris Van Allsburg's \u003cem\u003eJumanji\u003c\/em\u003e, Chinese cartoonist Daishu Ma's first foray onto American shelves is ultimately a hopeful vision of the coexistence of the urban and natural worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daishu Ma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606998536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606998533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2015 pg. 36","brand":"Daishu Ma","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938705113343,"sku":"9781606998533","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7e3166b9-d2a0-4aee-975e-c3450242e22a.jpg?v=1681437254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaf-daishu-ma-9781606998533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
