Reviews

In this picture book, the author takes inspiration from the students he has met over the course of his career to publish a fictitious portrait gallery of children who are quite simply one of a kind. These children are different, they’re exceptional, they’re bursting with life, and they’re working hard to build their own identity. Not only that, their portraits are all magnificently drawn by Paule Thibault, making this book a work of art that will give us all food for thought.
