Ash's Cabin is a beautiful book. Jen Wang does amazing work in deftly contrasting Ash's interior journey in their relationship with a hostile external world. It's a gorgeous meditation on fear, loneliness, and building a place to feel at home in your own heart." --Trung Le Nguyen, creator of
The Magic Fish "Heart-wrenching and powerful,
Ash's Cabin sucked me in and I couldn't stop until I got to the end. Ash's story couldn't be more relevant today. I just loved it." --Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning creator of
Spinning "A fierce and tender story about the lengths you will go to connect in a way that matters, during a time in your life when those connections feel so hard. Timely, empathetic, and masterfully drawn, exactly what Jen Wang has always excelled at." --Kate Beaton, #1
New York Times-bestselling creator of

Kirkus,
starred review "Wang (Stargazing) delivers a stunning, contemplative wilderness adventure via muted earth-tone watercolors that tackles head-on the present-day experience of living in what often feels like a time of apocalyptic change." --
Publisher's Weekly,
starred review "Wang's emotive, empathic illustrations elevate an already impactful narrative into a stupendous visual masterpiece, with and without panels, swathed in daytime California golds and chillier nighttime blues. Perfection--literary and artistic--awaits here." -
