Signed by Kerascoet on their first West Coast public appearance! We hosted Kerascoet at our booth at LightBox Expo October 25-27, 2024 and they signed a limited number of books for us before returning to France.

This children's picture book features lush watercolor illustrations by Kerascoët.

From the publisher:

"I don't care about being made of paper, I want to be like the others! I want to jump over the wood fire without blackening my feet!"

Rejected by the children in his neighborhood because of his singularity, the paper boy is fragile: in a world of strong people, he bends, crumples in the face of mockery. As he runs away from what oppresses him, he discovers his true strength, that of imagination, and the courage to be himself.

Resume:

« Je m'en moque d'être en papier, je veux être comme les autres ! Je veux sauter par-dessus le feu de bois sans me noircir les pieds ! »

Rejeté par les enfants de son quartier à cause de sa singularité, le garçon de papier est fragile dans un monde de forts, il se plie, se froisse face aux moqueries. Alors qu'il s'enfuit loin de ce qui l'oppresse, il découvre sa véritable force, celle de l'imagination, et le courage d'être soi.

Kerascoët lives and works in Paris in the worlds of cartooning and illustration. Best known for illustrating the book Miss Don't Touch Me written by Hubert, as well as a couple of the Lewis Trondheim Dungeon books, their most recent book Beautiful Darkness broke out on the US scene in 2014, winning them wide recognition and high praise. It was a Publishers Weekly best book of the year.
