A snowy hillside sets the scene for this charming French-language volume from Michel Van Zeveren, published by Pastel/L'école des loisirs in 2017. The cover captures a wonderfully comic moment: a wolf-like figure floats mid-air above a sled run while a smaller dog character stands below, sled in tow, delivering the deadpan speech bubble — "T'aurais pu prévenir avant de partir…" ("You could have warned me before leaving…"). Van Zeveren's clean, expressive line work and gentle winter palette give this book an instantly warm and humorous appeal for readers of all ages.
