Les grandes grandes vacances #2

The second volume of Les grandes grandes vacances arrives with a subtitled promise of secrets to uncover. The light blue cover sets a deceptively cheerful scene: two children — a girl in a red dress rushing forward and a boy in a dark coat — accompany a horse-drawn cart loaded with luggage, driven by a young person while a weathered adult man looks on, and a small pig trots along for good measure. Published by Bayard Presse in 2020 under the BD Kids imprint, this charming Franco-Belgian-style album blends the warmth of rural life with the quiet tension of whatever secret lies ahead.
