Simone se bastonne #1

A giant grumpy jellyfish, a determined girl, and a scrappy companion face off against a signpost pointing toward school and daycare — and the coral-pink cover alone makes it clear that Simone se bastonne: Cartables et Crustacés is anything but an ordinary back-to-school story. Writer Guillaume Long and artist Anne Schmauch bring a wonderfully anarchic energy to this BD Kids release, with the tagline "Une héroïne à contre-courant!" perfectly capturing Simone's spirit. Published by Bayard Presse in 2023, this opening volume promises charm, humor, and at least one very disgruntled cephalopod.
