The Only Child #[nn]

A wordless graphic novel by Guojing, this volume tells the story of a young girl who, feeling lonely after her parents leave for work, embarks on a dreamlike journey through a snowy landscape where she encounters a mysterious deer. The narrative explores themes of solitude, imagination, and the longing for connection, rendered in detailed, sepia-toned illustrations that evoke a cinematic, emotional experience. Originally published in 2015 by Random House, it is a standalone work rather than part of a larger series, drawing inspiration from the artist's own childhood in China.
