Finalist for the Jacqueline Woodson Award for LGBTQ+ Young Adult/Children’s Literature.

A sci-fi lesbian romance taking place in two possible realities: a cozy little cabin on modern Earth, or the distant planet Nebulon ruled by technological advances far beyond our time. This unique and thought-provoking graphic novel by acclaimed Spanish artist Ana Oncina features a variety of color palettes contrasting between each setting, creating a soft-hued, dreamy atmosphere for this story about searching for one’s place in the world.

Nature-loving loner Valentina lives in a small, cozy cabin in the middle of the forest with her dog Sopa. Every night, she has a dream: she lives isolated on another planet with Ane, her partner. And although everything is too strange, too white and too silent, it seems that Ane and Valentina are made for each other. But is Ane real? To what extent is this alternative reality a dream?
