Bulles & Blues #[nn]

Against a stark black background, a pair of whimsical pink-and-white striped legs curl playfully beneath a frilly little bow — a simple, charming image that immediately sets a tone somewhere between quirky and bittersweet. Bulles & Blues, brought to us by Charlotte Bousquet and Stéphanie Rubini via Gulf Stream éditeur in 2015, pairs that delightful cover design with a title that hints at both lightness and melancholy in equal measure. It's the kind of book that draws you in with a smile and promises something a little deeper once you turn the page.
