Yam can fly! He likes to eat cupcakes and cheeseburgers, but not squid. Sometimes his television crawls into bed with him for a little snuggle. He has magic powers! He can make flowers grow out of your head! But, be careful! Don't leave him in the sun — he might melt!

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Top Shelf is proud to present an all new, "silent" all-ages graphic novel series! Yam and his fun-loving friends live on the remote tropical island of Leche de la Luna, and are always getting mixed up in surreal adventures. Whether it's encountering cupcakes that spring to life, befriending potted flowers, or exploring the mysterious ruins on the island, this small boy in his hooded, footy pajamas always ends up having a blast with his friends. The debut graphic novel, simply titled Yam, is anchored by the full-length story "Toy with My Dreams," in which Yam develops a crush on a girl much to old for him, but ends up being able to communicate with her in his dreams. The graphic novel also contains a full-color section and several short stories which have seen print in Nickelodeon Magazine.
