Aquicorn Cove Katie O'Neill Books

“But there’s no home without a future…”

I just want to say that Katie O'Neill has the most breathtaking, most gorgeous, and most adorable illustrations out there right now. Each page is literally a brand-new work of art. Never have I ever loved the illustrations in anything as much as I do in this and in The Tea Dragon Society!

Aquicorn Cove stars a young girl named Lana, and she and her father come to visit her Auntie Mae on her little island. Lana is grieving the loss of her mother, but feels happier in her hometown, before Lana was forced to move to the city with her father. And the village is rebuilding after a disaster has struck. But Lana is more than happy to help. But when she goes to the water, she finds a little seahorse-like friend, who is in need of her help!

We also get to see Auntie Mae’s journey below the water, where the Aquicorns live! And Aunt Mae and their leader, Aure, strike up the most heart-warming f/f relationship. But we also get to see firsthand how important it is to keep our waters clean and that we need to respect coral reefs and underwater ecosystems.

Every book I’ve read by Katie has also has such an important and powerful message. Aquicorn Cove is about conservation and how the actions we take on land are impacting our waters. How overfishing, climate change, and polluting is hurting these water sources, and if we don’t change our actions then the results are going to be more and more severe. This is a book that really focuses on the delicate balance we have with all living things, and how we have to respect and protect each other to keep the cycle going. We all have to be responsible for our carbon footprint, or nothing will be safe; land or sea.

“Children don’t deserve to lose their home with the sea.”

Overall, I loved this more than words. Some of these panels were able to evoke such an emotional response from me. I shed so many tears, but also grinned so many smiles. I truly think Katie O’Neill is doing so much good in the world, and I wish I could put her work in everyone’s hands. Beautiful and breathtaking illustrations, empowering and important messages, and characters that I wish I had growing up. I hope you all pick this up and fall in love, too!

Aquicorn Cove Katie O'Neill Books Reviews

Okay, I have to fully admit that I was initially only interested in this one because of the cover. But come on! It's gorgeous! I am glad I shamefully judged a book by it's cover, because the art in this little comic was amazing! It was super colorful, and would have different panels using really bright pastels, and then the next using really saturated darker colors. The artwork really knew how to work the story and make you have all the feels. Seriously, I blew through this one because the art was amazing to look at. I definitely want to see what other stuff O'Neill has done, because I loved this one.

I have to admit the story was not exactly what I thought it was going to be, but I ended up really liking in nonetheless. Our main character Lana is visiting her Aunt Mae with her dad to help clean up after a particularly bad storm on the ocean village they grew up on. Having recently lost her mother, Lana is having a little bit of a hard time, but she keeps up finding things from the ocean that used to belong to the townspeople with help from the mystical Aquicorns. It's here she starts to unravel the story of her Aunt Mae and how she also interacted with the Aquicorns before Lana was born. The story also heavily talks about the effect of fishing and plastic on the ecosystem and it's a big source of the conflict. I wasn't expecting the environmental aspect of the story, but I really feel strongly about how we as humans are effecting the environment that I loved that this was included.

There is also a scene early on in the comic of how Lana has been feeling since her mother's death. From the panels it really seems like Lana might be suffering from a little bit of depression. I really like that this depicted how grief can effect a child and how for Lana she has a hard time understanding what her feelings mean. I think that is really important to show kids that it is okay to feel that way.

I also really like how the women were drawn in this comic. Aunt Mae, and Lana's mom Melody are depicted as these really muscular women. I loved that! Because fishing can be hard work, so it totally makes sense for them to have a lot of physical strength, but I feel like we never see women depicted like this.

This was such a sweet story, that I definitely want to get my hands on anything else O'Neill has done. I would recommend this one for the beautiful artwork alone, but I also think it has a great message behind the story.

*I received a review copy of this book
Really inspiring story with beautiful art and characters
Such a beautiful book, I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars
Extremely heavy handed and poorly paced plot wise. My niece (9) was really disappointed in its lack of entertainment.
In the process of returning it.
I was a huge fan of Katie O' Neill especially after picking up her published comic book "Tea Dragon Society". If you have either
read her webcomics online, have a huge appreciation for adorable fairytale-like creatures and characters, or/and love the ocean, then this comic book is right for you!
Her art has only gotten better and its set around a favorite setting of mine - the ocean! Her stories are so charming and she hasn't made a character I didn't like.
Katie O'Neill always manages to create cute, meaningful stories that anyone can enjoy. I hope this book can get children, or really anyone in general, thinking more about how to help their environment.
