Migali #2

The sunny yellow cover of Migali #2 bursts with playful chaos, showing the wild-haired Migali mid-leap, mouth wide open in gleeful excitement, surrounded by a cast of quirky animal companions — a striped cat, a colorful bird, a frog, and a little friend in a bee-striped outfit — all seemingly caught up in a lively game of tag (the subtitle Tikkie, jij bent 'm! says it all). Writer Alexandre Arlène and artist Fabien Octo Lambert bring an infectious, cartoonish energy to every corner of the image, right down to the spider dangling from its web in the top corner. This 2022 Silvester release looks like a thoroughly delightful romp for younger readers who love big personalities and even bigger expressions.
