Anzu the Great Kaiju
Author(s): Benson Shum
Review(s):
"Shum’s experience as an animator for Walt Disney Animation Studios on films like Big Hero 6 and Raya and the Last Dragon is evident in the way he storyboards the narrative, pulls readers along with cinematic energy, and celebrates Japanese aesthetics—with everything from bonsai trees to golden picture frames to tiny creatures that look like adorable walking dumplings. He also makes Japanese culture integral to the well-told, wholly original tale, which proves humorous, heartfelt, and as sweet as the flowers Anzu conjures." —Booklist
