Somali et l'esprit de la forêt #5

The fifth volume of Yako Gureishi's tender fantasy series presents a quietly striking cover: young Somali, wide-eyed and clutching close to a towering skeletal golem figure, both nestled amid a lush tangle of mushrooms, ferns, and wildflowers that almost seems to embrace them. The contrast between the fragile girl and her mechanical, bone-white guardian is rendered with remarkable delicacy, capturing the heart of their unlikely bond. A lovely addition to this 2019 French-language edition of a series that handles themes of protection and belonging with real warmth.
