Fairytales From Within: Fables of Love, Sacrifice, and Discovery, is a conscientiously crafted, minimalist graphic novel. The hand-illustrated narratives are written like a children's book, while speaking to the inner-child of new and expecting parents.
Within, two tales are told.
Chapter one follows the whimsical Humi and Pj, a hummingbird and a peacock whose exchange examines how the way we see ourselves alters how others see us.
Ileese and Lynn are the focus of the second account, a daughter searching for her mother who has mystically become a palm tree in Los Angeles. Their interaction looks closer into the way the lives of parents shape the lives of their children.
Stories to soothe the mind, while expanding it.
