Into the Uncut Grass is an illustrated fable about a young boy’s journey into the uncut grass beyond his home when he wants to escape his morning chores.

This book is filled with Trevor Noah’s humor, and after reading the small introduction from Noah in the front, the story itself kind of reads like a moment from his childhood.

Sabina Hahn’s illustrations are simple and cute and really capture the imagination of a child. This book really reminded me of both Pooh Bear and of course, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to be categorized as – graphic novel, fiction, children’s… someone dropped “literary graphic novel” out too when I was reading reviews… regardless, I enjoyed it, it was cute.
