As soon as I was introduced, I instantly loved Alti and her work.” Kim-Joy continued, 'I’m in absolute awe of Alti’s artwork in the book–it is so expressive and emotive you can really feel a connection to the characters on each page. It’s NOT a magical story about how baking and friendship fix everything, but a story about the small steps forward (and sometimes sideways and backwards) gradually adding up.'

Hence: Turtle Bread! (And yes, there’s actual turtle themed bread! Plus loads of other recipes). This is explored through baking, and in particular, the symbolism of the turtle–coming out of its shell and moving forward however slowly that may be. “It’s about that feeling of loneliness, of not fitting in or feeling good enough, of self-criticism, and the path towards self-acceptance. “Turtle Bread is a book about self-awareness,” said Kim-Joy in Comixology's press release. Turtle Bread marks her first comic book work, as well as Firmansyah's first full-length graphic novel. Anyone can read this book and like it because it is nice and funny and friendly.Great British Bake Off fans may recall that Kim-Joy was a finalist in the 2018 season, and later went on to win the Bake Off's New Year 2022 special. Overall, this book is so funny and I think I could read this book a bunch of times because it’s so good! I recommend this book to fans of Raina’s books. When Raina threw up in the toilet, it looked really bad and gross.

However, my least favorite part is when Michelle (when she was mean) teases Raina or bugs her. I also like it when she tries kimchi and when she makes a get-well poster for Michelle. Things are so mysterious in Raina’s life and I think that other people can relate to it! I like how the story goes and my favorite part is when she makes comics with her best friend, Jane. I was very excited to read this book because Raina has such an interesting life and story to tell. What is causing the stomach aches? Will Raina feel better soon?
