Paranormalement #[nn]

A sun-dappled park scene sets a deceptively gentle tone for Paranormalement, as an elderly couple sits on a bench while a young child in a red shirt turns toward them with a pointed question — "Est-ce que t'es mort?" ("Are you dead?") — much to the apparent alarm of nearby adults. Fabrice Défontaines brings a light, watercolor warmth to what is clearly a story where the everyday and the uncanny brush shoulders with quiet, wry humor. Published by Delcourt in 2023, this charming volume promises a uniquely tender take on life's bigger mysteries, told through the eyes of the very young.
