Les grandes grandes vacances #1

From BD Kids and Bayard Presse, this 2019 French-language graphic novel opens the Les grandes grandes vacances series with the subtitle Drôle de guerre — a phrase carrying both the playful meaning of "funny war" and its historical weight. The warm red cover sets up a striking contrast: a group of children, including a boy and a girl running hand-in-hand alongside a small pig and younger kids, framed against the silhouettes of wartime aircraft overhead. It's a vivid, bittersweet image that captures childhood resilience caught in the shadow of conflict — an immediately compelling introduction to what promises to be a deeply human story.
