That idea of renewal is a theme of MINATO SKETCHES, and I’m so grateful that @susanbk.bsky.social captured it so beautifully in her @merliterary.bsky.social review, writing that the book’s “storytelling allows these chapters to flow well together, forming an engaging story of renewal.”

There’s something special about watching my city garden change with the seasons, each flower moving through its own cycle of renewal.
