Wonderful submitted by desuka81 on July 27, 2021, 5:33pm a great book for kids to read about cicada although it just a fiction

Very cute submitted by nmrhoads on August 1, 2021, 5:46pm I love cicadas. This was a really cute book about how they wait 17 years to come to the surface

Dark submitted by camelsamba on July 28, 2022, 12:19pm This book has dark themes. Cicada’s 17 year life cycle as metaphor for … what exactly? Escaping oppression? Not sure. I doubt it would appeal to young kids - definitely more of a teen graphic novel (which is where it is shelved). I usually like Shaun Tan books but this one did not appeal.
