Lili Crochette et Monsieur Mouche #2

The second volume of Joris Chamblain and Olivier Supiot's charming French series plunges our pirate-spirited heroine Lili Crochette — red bandana, rope in hand, tiny green companion in tow — into a swirl of voodoo magic alongside a joyful, twirling figure at the center of a glowing mystical circle, flanked by a pair of mischievous little ghosts. The warm golden-orange atmosphere and the subtitle La Nounou Vaudou promise exactly the kind of adventurous, supernatural fun that made this series a delight from its very first volume. Published in 2017 by les Éditions de la Gouttière, this is whimsical all-ages storytelling with real energy and heart.
