Pearson's utter lack of pretension keeps Hilda feeling fresh, while his reading of folktales and Tove Jansson's Moomin series embeds Hilda in the long history of children's stories. [...] Hilda's dilemmas, while fantastic, also feel real [...] Pearson has found a lovely new way to dramatize childhood demons, while also making you long for your own cruise down the fjords.
-The New Yorker
[Hilda's world] is... a glorious, exciting if also rather menacing place - one children will be eager to enter. It's also visually arresting: exuberant and lively and faintly Miyazakian
-The New York Times Book Review
For adults ... Pearson's measured storytelling ... and detailed, imaginative artwork make Hilda and the Bird Parade an absolute treat to dive into. It's hard to imagine a better all-ages comic will be published this year.
-Slate
A perfect pitch between childlike adventure, subtle mystery, and gentle lyricism.
-Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
Although Trolberg initially seems grim (down by the docks, the bird scares Hilda with a story about a rat king, to which she responds, You can't remember who you are but you can remember that?), Pearson shows how Hilda's optimism, curiosity, and self-assuredness help her make the most of this unfamiliar new setting. The reds, golds, and blues in the palette (Hilda's signature colors) hint at the way her outlook transforms the town from intimidating and rundown to a place where magical, wonderful things can happen.
-Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
A joyous riot of animist magic.
-The Times
Pearson has hit his stride with this world. The book has the same wonderful color scheme as the previous and maintains similar tonal shifts as well, with warm colors for cozy home scenes and cool colors for outdoor night scenes. The lettering is crisp and strong.
