Les enfants du Royaume #[nn]

Three children stand close together at the center of this striking cover — a girl in a pink apron clutching something small, a taller girl in yellow with a long braid, and a boy in a green shirt — surrounded by a dense, blue-toned crowd of adults that presses in from all sides. A small orange bird takes flight above the title, adding a touch of warmth and freedom to an otherwise tense, atmospheric scene. Published by Éditions Alberti in 2013, this Franco-Moroccan album by Jean-François Chanson and Nathalie Logié Manche looks like a compelling read for younger audiences and adults alike.
