Eon: My Pet Tardigrade by Cybèle Young and Nell Jocelyn
I like this book. A lot.
When it comes out. Get a lot of copies to share and to read.
But you probably want to know why I think this. Okay, so it is funny. Not in a HAHA way, but in a way that makes me smile and feel good. The funny thing is that it is about a tardigrade as the main animal. What is a tardigrade? And when you see it you’ll really get a chuckle. It is funny because it just feels happy. And it has a bit of humor in the style of writing as well. It is also informative as there is some information about the animal tardigrade. And there is a nice, meditative element. The writing is poetic and the themes do have that relaxing element.
It was a book that you also can visual really get into. The artwork is amazing. I can’t believe that someone could create something so detailed and intricate. The colors, the details, everything about it is not just illustrations but real artwork. Pieces of art. You would collect them for decorating your office, rooms, all over the place. Heck! I’d even put them in the bathroom and garage (you know if you have a garage). They really invoke emotions and really highlight what is happening.
Read every part of things. Read the extras, the author and illustrator biographies, read the text, read between the lines. Read everything. This is a full experience book that you get the chance to read in mid-August 2026, but I had the chance to read via an online reader.
