L'année de la chèvre #[nn]

Two young people sit back-to-back on the cover, leaning into each other beneath the gentle, glowing silhouette of a blue goat — a quietly magical image that sets a tender, contemplative mood for this Franco-Belgian album. Subtitled Bernadette, this 2016 release from La Boîte à Bulles is crafted by Vanyda and François Duprat, whose soft, warm palette of blush pinks and pastel blues gives the whole thing an intimate, almost dreamlike quality. A lovely addition to any shelf with an appetite for thoughtful, human-scale storytelling.
