"I could have easily filled this list with ten Bergman movies. (Cries and Whispers, Fanny and Alexander, The Magician, Persona, Sawdust and Tinsel, The Seventh Seal, Smiles of a Summer Night, Through a Glass Darkly, The Virgin Spring, Wild Strawberries—there, I did it anyway.) His filmic artistry, his seriousness of purpose, his love of actors, and, above all, his literate examinations of the human condition never fail to inspire me. I think I’ve stolen more from Bergman than any other writer. Cries and Whispers is a masterpiece. Visual storytelling, a lean narrative, exacting characterization, formal experimentation—all in the service of painful, honest humanity."

"I don’t hesitate to state that no one becomes a great writer without drinking from the spring of fables. Sometimes their influence shows on the surface and at other times it remains hidden inside the story like bones in a body. In this magnificent collection of dark stories, Vollmann — who many consider having written the Great American Novel more than once — proves himself a master storyteller whose pitcher of that fabled water never runs dry. Drawing on sources from the North, The South, The East and the West he takes us on a journey through many last nights on earth and in the worlds beyond."

This is my second manga by this author and I really liked the other [b:?????? 1 Ao Haru Ride 1 |13571757|?????? 1 Ao Haru Ride 1 (Blue Spring Ride, #1)|Io Sakisaka|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333286264s/13571757.jpg|19152133].

One thing I have noticed is that the guy looks eerily similar to the guy from the other one. In fact, that something I've noticed having read a handful of different ones--a lot of the characters kinda look the same.

Anyway, I'm intrigued by this one. I want them to get together already but as always there are several obstacles in the way. Off to start Volume 2.

We meet up with Khahari at the beginning of the story. He got a plant he was to take care of over spring break.

He finds out that his cousin is coming to visit. Will she help Khahari learn about plants? Will Khahari change his mind about plants being boring to being fun?

This book is done well. Children can learn about plants and their importance, as well as how they help us and the planet. Children are introduced to various black scientists.

Though you get to learn about plants, although it is too plant-based and lacks much scientific evidence, there is a little bit of that.
