Bienvenue #2

From the creative team behind Aya de Yopougon, this second volume of Bienvenue continues Marguerite Abouet and Singeon's warmly observed story of newcomers navigating a new world. The cover sets the mood beautifully: a young red-haired woman in a leopard-print jacket and red sneakers stands on a metro platform, a little wide-eyed amid the bustle of passengers and the glow of arched station lights behind her. It's an image that captures the mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with finding your footing somewhere unfamiliar — inviting, human, and quietly compelling.
