Both Vögelein books should be in comics stores today! Go! Buy! Hooray!

(Yes, it’s a shameless plug. I’m allowed. Shut up.)

If you’re not the comic-store type, it can also be ordered from:

Powell’s, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Since I’m already tootin’ my own horn, it’s safe to say it’s gotten some nice reviews already:

“The warm, comforting story, which feels like a folktale, spins out at a leisurely pace, allowing readers time to experience the lush softness of the black-and-white art and really appreciate the characters, the place, and the mood of the telling.” — Tina Coleman, Booklist

“… a beautiful, bittersweet, life-affirming story … readers new to Vögelein will discover a fantastic treat. ”

— Kat Kan, graphic novel consultant, Brodart and HW Wilson and Voice Of Youth Advocates columnist

“Irwin’s black-and-white painted artwork has a naturalistic feel and some beautiful designs, and her handling of emotions is nuanced and affecting. Recommended for all collections, for teens and adults.”

— Stephen Raiteri, The Library Journal
