{"product_id":"leaf-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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606998533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\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\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2015 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daishu Ma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471181447349,"sku":"9781606998533","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2239d26b-0a5d-4c57-971c-d0c804c46017.jpg?v=1704823739","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/leaf-9781606998533","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
