Alyte: A graphic novel

Description

A fast-paced, visually stunning homage to nature about resisting and surviving the conditions of an unforgiving world, from award-winning creator Jérémie Moreau

A sudden roaring noise rips through the twilight. When the silence returns, a father toad is left lying on the pavement. Gathering his last ounces of strength, he carries his eggs to the salvation of a nearby pond—and from the only unharmed egg hatches an orphan tadpole, Alyte. Barely born and already a survivor, Alyte is forced to escape from birds, bears, and other gods of the river. Along the way, however, he encounters new friends in nature, each of whom teaches him about the world in their own way, awakening him to all of its beauties. From creator Jérémie Moreau, Alyte confronts the often violent, unforgiving nature of the world we live in—as close to us as it is invisible—with the notion of resistance as an act of survival.
