Praise for Please Be My Star:

The clean, inviting art features varied panel shapes and perspectives and highlights the characters' emotional expressions. Manga-style art animates this charming story of self-discovery." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "This sweet romance/coming-of-age combo incorporates a great mix of cross-cultural visual homages, including nods to manga, telenovelas, and k-pop stans. Readers will appreciate the vibrant color scheme throughout... Elliott thoughtfully captures the essence of being the weird kid among weird kids and finding connection not despite but because of that quirkiness." -- Booklist, starred review
