Anna et Ogre mangeur de mots #[nn]

From Biscoto, this charming 2022 French-language graphic work by Sonia Paoloni and Éloïse Rey pairs a curly-haired young girl in a teal dress against the looming dark silhouette of a massive ogre — their two faces cleverly overlapping in a striking design, with a burst of golden light streaming between them. Colorful folk-art flora and bold geometric shapes fill the scene, giving the whole cover a warm, storybook energy that feels both playful and a little mysterious. A lovely entry for readers drawn to imaginative tales about words, language, and the unexpected friendships that spring up between them.
