Un cadeau de Noël en novembre
By Stéphane Laporte and Jacques Goldstyn
Les Éditions de La Bagnole (in French only)
“This timeless and touching book tells the story of a child forced to give up on a dream and reinvent himself. The work bears out the creators’ absolute mastery of their art, with the detailed, poetic and whimsical watercolours naturally integrating into the story. The author’s beautiful writing is echoed in the illustrator’s brush strokes. Through its visual beauty and universal message, the book provides children with a genuine glimmer of hope.”
