“Saito reached a hand into some of my very own darkest climate crisis-induced depressive thoughts and drew me gently back into the light.

We are all part of this natural world, and we are meant to be here, and it is good that we are here. Those things can be hard to remember sometimes, but these delicate comics underline their truth.”

“We will only walk into a healing ecological future if we learn to metabolize our grief, hold space in our hearts for hope, and live out of our love for the world.

This book is a gift along the path.”

“Using a sort of visual 4/4 time signature, Madeleine Jubilee Saito's You Are a Sacred Place is a heartfelt song about the state of our planet. In gentle watercolors and sparse colors, Saito sings to us about love, loss, hope, and our need for one another.”
