Chasseur De Glace/ Ice Hunter
Chasseur De Glace/ Ice Hunter
$33.00
Youri lives in Siberia, on the shores of Lake Baikal. Combining fiction and documentary, the album outlines the little boy’s daily life: his father who raises him alone, the ice hunters who supply the homes with fresh water, the Buryat neighbours, the fauna and flora of the region, which is depopulated at high speed… The story alternates with more documentary plates, which alternately describe endemic animals and plants (trees, birds, fish). A powerful and evocative text, carried by the luminous images of Marion Duval made with acrylic.

Being Ugo
Books for 5-8y It happened like this. One morning Ugo woke up and... He was no longer Ugo. Or at least... He was no longer the same Ugo as before. Growing up means changing day by day, and little Hugh is finding that out on his own skin! One day he wakes up SQUIGGLY, another day DOTTY, and yet another day he wakes up all DASHED UP; and each change affects his mood and behavior at school and with friends. But Ugo is still Ugo, even if he feels a little different every morning-and after all, what's the point of being all the same all the time? A book about change, about accepting transformation and growth, about the shaky concept of "normality."
Until the last pages, adults are never seen in full, but only up to the waist. A contrivance that gives us a surprise in the story's ending, and tells us that growing up also means discovering the complexity and fallibility of one's parents. Winner of the Andersen Super Prize “Gualtiero Schiaffino” 2025

The Wanderer
Books for 4-8y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y Zoey Kim is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer from South Korea. Her love for children’s picture books influenced her in many ways, both as a child and as an adult.
Her drawings tell stories of various emotions and sometimes completely random thoughts that cross her mind. These thoughts are drawn and divided into different frames within the artwork giving viewers a chance to come up with their own imaginative stories; just like reading a children’s picture book.
She loves drawing subjects with blurred and fuzzy textures, giving her work a soft and warm feeling.

Where Do We Go When We Die?
Books for 5-8y Where do we go when we die? Maybe we turn into our favourite animal, or we go on a space trip, or we fall very very deeply asleep. The truth is that if nobody knows then all answers are possible, so you can imagine and believe whatever you want... Samy Ramos starts from the grandiosity of the universe to tell us that this world is made up of many, many things, and that to understand some of them you have to know many more. Where do we go when we die? is a delicate and extremely honest book that tackles a subject that children have always wondered about and asked questions about, reminding us that there is not always an answer for everything. And that sometimes it is OK not to have answers at all.

A Well-hidden Greyhound
Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y Not everyone knows that greyhounds are extremely cautious and careful animals. In fact, they hide because they are afraid of everything: pigeons, balloons, wind, cats, other greyhounds... and when they are hiding it is not easy to find them and convince them to come out! So how can you stop your greyhound from suddenly running off in search of the nearest hiding place? This book offers several strategies: you can try to disguise your greyhound with scary disguises, so that the others will run away from it, or you can take your greyhound to places where you do not risk meeting anyone. What would you do?
With his usual irony and lightheartedness, Andrea Antinori delivers a book that will make you smile at every page, and make you fall in love with this elegant and hopelessly fearful animal.
