Mom's Review
Astro is a heartfelt tale of friendship and loneliness featuring an interstellar voyager who is befriended by a resident of the planet he descends upon. Despite physical and environmental differences, the two form a deep, life-altering friendship that transcends terrestrial bounds. Otherworldly illustrations transport the reader out of the known world and quietly emphasize the importance of companionship and connection. Marsol's artistic style is rich - the more you examine the illustrations, the more you find. Between the art and the story, the reader is left contemplative. Astro is pure excellence in every way.
