Simon & Louise #[nn]

A sun-drenched summer mood radiates from Max de Radiguès' cover, where a boy drifts lazily on a floating board at the water's surface while a snorkel-masked girl glides gracefully beneath the waves below him. The split between above and below the waterline gives the image a quiet, dreamy symmetry that feels both playful and tender. Published by Éditions Sarbacane in 2017, this is the kind of graphic novel that promises a gentle, sun-warmed story about two kids sharing the magic of a long summer day.
