Jour de vent #[nn]

A delicate watercolor vignette graces this page from Chours' 2014 French-language work Jour de vent, showing a small gnome-like figure mid-tumble, pointy red hat askew, buffeted by an unseen gust amid soft purple-grey clouds and a wisp of golden grass. The accompanying verse speaks of luck, watchful eyes, and wind perfect for a kite — a quietly magical little scene rendered with gentle, airy charm. Fans of illustrated poetry and storybook art will find this 2014 Chours publication a genuinely lovely thing to hold.
