Summer Swallows

A beautiful intergenerational comic

You’ve spent all your summers at your grandparents’ house, but... what happens when one of them is gone? What if you suddenly discovered something about their past that made you rethink who that person was? That’s what Lucía will experience this summer.

Summer Swallows is a story about family relationships, especially the bond between grandchildren and grandparents, and the experience of loss and overcoming grief. With subtle touches of magical realism, Sara Aguilar crafts a narrative that reflects the changes in the bonds that unite us with our loved ones and the evolving way we perceive the world as we grow up.
