WHERE THE OTHER WILD THINGS ARE...An older sister to Sendak's work, maybe taking place on the next island over from Max's wild rumpus. -the New York Times
Designed by Liniers and TOON Editorial Director Francoise Mouly, Wildflowers is a small gem of a children's hardcover book-a sweet end to Liniers's fatherly trilogy [...] Liniers knows these girls, and he knows how to balance cuteness against trouble. What he has done with TOON so far-well, it's one of the lovelier runs in today's children's comics.-featured review We Are Flowers, Wild Ones by Charles Hatfield of SOLRAD, the online literary magazine for comics
A wildly imaginative tale, spangled by magic realism and Argentine conflation of reality and fantasy. -Variety
A winsome comic, perfectly pitched to emerging readers.-Booklist
Quirky and endearing, it's a journey both internal and external.-Publishers Weekly
A comfortable reminder of the power of imagination.-School Library Journal's Good Comics for Kids
