Adieu les enfants #1

A gentle, quietly affecting work from Hélène Becquelin, *Adieu les enfants* arrives from Swiss publisher Antipodes with a cover that feels both tender and bittersweet. Three children crouch and lean in around a small black cat, their pencil-sketch figures rendered in soft lines against a warm lavender background — a scene that captures the mix of curiosity, care, and uncertainty children bring to the world. Published in 2018, this is an intimate graphic work that invites readers to slow down and pay attention to the small, meaningful moments of childhood.
