88/100
👍 Worth It

Blexbolex won France's top children's book prize for a reason — his risograph palette and wordless storytelling create a dreamy, rereadable summer that invites children and adults to narrate together and find something new each time. The wordless format is a genuine strength here, not a limitation: it opens the book to any age and any language. A beautiful object and a beautiful experience.
