Sylvie

Sylvie, launched in 2021 by Candlewick Press, follows a young girl navigating the complexities of friendship and self-discovery in a whimsical, slightly surreal world. This single-issue comic, created by writer/artist Marika McCoola and artist Emily K. Smith, stands out for its gentle, introspective tone and its lush, storybook-style art. Though brief, it marks a notable entry in Candlewick’s growing line of graphic novels for middle-grade readers.
