La Poudre d'Escampette #[nn]

Three children peer out through a porthole of a wooden houseboat, their faces pressed together with unmistakable excitement, while fish drift beneath green water and an orange oar leans against the hull — Chloé Cruchaudet's cover immediately conjures a sense of adventure waiting just beyond a very small window. Published by Delcourt in 2015, La Poudre d'Escampette promises the kind of childhood escapade where cramped quarters and open water are all the ingredients you need. A charming, warmly illustrated invitation to whatever journey lies inside.
