Les Carnets de Cerise #2

A red-haired girl in a wide-brimmed hat cradles a mysterious old book, her expression caught between wonder and wariness — perfectly capturing the mood of Les Carnets de Cerise: Le Livre d'Hector. Joris Chamblain and Aurélie Neyret's second volume surrounds young Cerise with an ethereal blue haze of swirling, dreamlike shapes, hinting at secrets tucked between the pages she holds. This 2013 Soleil release earned the Fauve d'Angoulême Prix Jeunesse, a well-deserved nod to a series that clearly struck a chord with young readers and the critics who champion them.
