Adieu les enfants #2

The warm coral tones of Hélène Becquelin's cover set a bittersweet, nostalgic mood — four children are gathered in what looks like a courtyard or schoolyard, one girl mid-skip through a jump rope while the others watch, a blocky apartment building and leafy trees sketched softly in the background. This second volume of *Adieu les enfants* carries that tender, end-of-childhood atmosphere right through its artwork, balancing the lightness of play with something quietly more complex. A lovely continuation from Antipodes in 2019.
