Je suis pas petite!!! #2

The second volume of Bruno Duhamel's charming French series finds our curly-haired, red-headed little girl kneeling on the floor, holding an electrical plug with a glowing idea bulb above her head — clearly plotting something with the family vacuum cleaner nearby, while a baby sits contentedly in the background. The subtitle Le petit deuxième! hints at the arrival of a younger sibling, and the cover perfectly captures that mix of big-kid determination and domestic mischief that makes this 2011 series so endearing. Duhamel's warm, rounded artwork and the flower-filled backdrop give the whole thing a cozy, playful energy that's impossible to resist.
