Suggestions For The Kid Who Loves Tech, Science, Or Nature:
…. A longer shot may be Maggie Umber’s Sound of Snow Falling — a fully painted (almost photorealistic), wordless comic about a family of great horned owls. Meticulously researched, it’s slow-paced. If some comics can be thought of as graphic novels, this one’s more of a graphic poem. In other words, it’s definitely not for every kid, but if you have an owl-obsessed birdwatcher in your house, it might be the perfect, unique gift.
Some exciting announcements…!
- “The Man in the Blue Suit” patreon page will launch October 2nd. If you subscribe even just $1 you can watch me make my next graphic novel, via process posts and my new animated series.
- “Owl Portraits: A Mini Exhibition” will be a 30 page mixed media mini-comic collecting paintings I’ve done of owls, mostly focusing on North American owls. It will debut in March at the International Festival of Owls in Houston, MN.
Thank you everyone! I’ve been off Tumblr a lot lately preparing for all of this! I look forward to seeing what everyone has been up to lately here and on Instagram <3 Maggie

from Sequential State:
….
As I read Sound of Snow Falling, a general question surrounded the work; How do we create compelling narratives of the animal world that do not humanize these animals and their lives? Animal documentary film, with its over reliance on narration as a method of narrative propulsion, humanizes the wild. Other narrative work in comics gives animals names, human emotions, and human smiles, robbing the creatures of their majesty and their violence. Umber easily avoids this common pitfall in Sound of Snow Falling, and the result is astounding.
AV Club reviews Sound of Snow Falling:
….
all a reader needs to do is pick up this book to discover a part of nature they may have never seen before. It takes a lot of work to achieve that realism on the page while still evoking the grace of these creatures, and Sound Of Snow Falling shows how the comic-book medium can reveal the finer details of the natural world.
Spotted at The Beguiling’s Staff Pick Shelf: Sound of Snow FallingandMirror Mirror II, two of the most critically-acclaimed comics of the year, and Extended Play, one of the most under-appreciated comics of the year!
