Pet et Répète : la véritable histoire
By Katia Canciani and Guillaume Perreault
Fonfon
“A homegrown book that is both universal and inclusive, funny, whimsical, and playful. The vintage-style, halftone illustrations and photography references add a bunch of fun details and bring a second and even a third layer to the text. A worn-out joke is finally told and revealed in a surprising and original way.”
—Peer assessment committee: Marie-Louise Gay, Mireille Messier, Sylvain Rivard
