Blanche comme un drap(Beatrice In The Mist)

Summary

It can take years of practice for a magician to learn how to disappear. But disappearing is something that comes naturally to me. I’m invisible, but not because I want to be.

I’m Beatrice (in the mist)! People look right through me, like I’m not there.

This is an enveloping story about standing up for yourself.

About the book

A touching tale to illustrate the importance of what we project to the people around us.
This book can be a tool for teachers and counsellors to help young people who’ve suffered different kinds of neglect.
There’s a gentle, casual poetry to this text—not too rigidly structured, just the right flow of words for the symbolism of the illustrations.
Partners Chloé Varin and Rémi Allen spent two years working together on this project to bring their vision to life.
