Mamette #4

The fourth volume of Nob's charming French series finds the beloved round, rosy-cheeked Mamette literally leaping with energy — caught mid-hop over a hopscotch grid in a twilight park, while a group of elderly friends chat warmly near a gazebo in the background. Subtitled Entre ciel et terre ("Between Heaven and Earth"), this 2010 Glénat release captures the series' signature blend of gentle humor and tenderness for life's later years. If you've ever had a spirited grandmother who refuses to act her age, Mamette's fourth outing looks like a perfect read.
