Bookroo's summary

Ariol, a timid young donkey, is smitten with Petula, a lovely cow who makes his heart race. Despite countless awkward encounters, he’s determined to confess his feelings. As he prepares to reveal his heart, will Ariol triumph like his hero Thunder Horse, or will his nerves get the best of him? Dive into this delightful graphic novel filled with charming illustrations and humorous moments, capturing the essence of youthful crushes and the courage it takes to express them. Will Ariol's love story take flight, or will it crash and burn?

From the publisher

Re-presenting a charming graphic novel, for the special price of a comicbook! Petula is a beautiful cow who smells nice, has pretty hair, and makes Ariol tremble when she’s around. And even though Ariol’s story so far is almost 400 pages long, he still hasn’t worked up the courage to tell Petula that he loves her! Instead, he keeps accidentally saying all the wrong things every time she turns around to talk to him in class. Valiant Ariol is finally ready to make his move. Will he soar like Thunder Horse or plummet like, well, like Ariol? With charming artwork and hilarious vignettes, ARIOL is the perfect series for anyone who started off life as a kid!
