Je N’aurai Plus Peur / I Will No Longer Be Afraid

$29.00

In the quiet of the night, a mother and her son begin a difficult conversation. The child hesitates to tell of a scene of violence he witnessed at school. He understands its gravity all the more because he fled a country at war. Memories of that traumatic past overlay the present, and the boundary between the events blurs to better illuminate the mechanisms of fear. Thanks to his mother’s listening and love, he finds the courage to act. Determined to speak about it at school the next day, the child falls asleep at peace. A sensitive and profound picture book about violence, war, and resilience.

When the Shadows Lengthen

Books for 12-18y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y

“Do you hear the silence? Silence makes noise… and among the advancing shadows, silence is in the longest wait.” An incredibly delicate colour palette brings us back to the warmth and atmosphere of sunset on a hot summer’s day. Written and illustrated by Giulia Vetri, When the Shadows Lengthen is a book that reminds us of the importance of contemplating silence and the art of waiting. Starting with a poem written by the author on a long summer day spent at her grandmother’s house in the Italian countryside, this book details the many moments that mark the arrival of evening inside and outside the walls of a house surrounded by hills, trees, and rivers. Something happens on every page, and yet every action, every gesture, speaks above all of the silence that surrounds everything, in the tranquillity of sunset and as the shadows lengthen.

River

Books for 4-8y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y

Inspired by a true story experienced by the author and her children, Suzy Lee's new book tells the unforgettable encounter with a black dog in search of a home. River was saved and welcomed with love and became a companion in games and adventures, which come to life on paper through simple and immediate lines. The white of the pages leaves room for the reader’s imagination, who immediately finds themselves immersed in River’s story and his way of seeing the world: we dive with him in the snow (or in a pile of leaves), we become part of the family, and through his point of view we experience happiness and friendship, but also expectation and nostalgia. In a format reminiscent of a diary, River traces an intimate and personal story, made up of images and words: a novelty compared to the previous silent books. We still find the characteristics that make Suzy Lee's style unique - the intensity of black and white, the surprise presence of colour, the essentiality of the features and the importance of the empty space - and that here have the spontaneity and strength of a first-person experience. The story becomes a way to deal with detachment, to make a bond that lasts over time which you do not want to forget.

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 Magicians

Books for 5-8y, Gifts Under 60, School-Ager Gifts

“An exploration of the magic and difficulty of childhood, the wonders of the imagination, and the unique properties of books themselves, The Magicians is another utterly surprising gift from the singular mind of Blexbolex. You’ll want to read it again and again.” —Brian Selznick, author & illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Big Tree

It’s a graphic novel! It’s an art book! It’s an action-packed fantasy adventure from French visionary Blexbolex, for readers young and old.

★ A Wall Street Journal Best Children’s Book of 2023 ★ A Kirkus Best Book of 2023 ★ A Booklist Editors’ Choice of 2023 ★ A Moonbow Best Children’s Book of 2023 ★ A 100 Scope Notes Most Astonishingly Unconventional Children’s Book of 2023 ★ Selected for the Wall Street Journal Holiday Books Gift Guide, Publishers Weekly Holiday Gift Guide, and A Room of One’s Own Holiday Catalog ★ A PW Big Indie Book of the Fall ★

In the corner of a quiet, long-abandoned house, something is bubbling up and protesting. Suddenly, out from their hiding spots burst three young shapeshifting magicians—an elephant, a blackbird, and a human girl—each of whom embarks on their own journey. But a fierce young Huntress and a mechanical lion-dragon named Clinker are hot on their trails... and won't rest until every last magician is vanquished.

Fans of Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's work or The Wizard of Oz will feel right at home in the pages of The Magicians, with its fabulously eclectic characters and entertaining, suspenseful, dreamlike story inspired by video games, science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tales. Magic is the beating heart of this multi-world universe—the magic of nature, the magic of childhood, the magic of creativity and imagination. Here, Blexbolex celebrates the mysterious, beautiful mess of life.

Every gorgeous page features a silkscreen-style illustration that brilliantly layers three Pantone spot colors, in a festive palette that suggests “vintage circus.” From the heavy cardstock binding with French flaps, to the bronze metallic endpapers, to the book's paper evoking that of classic comic books, Blexbolex carefully selected the materials that would best realize his vision. The result? A visually stunning work of art.

Blexbolex is an award-winning French graphic artist living in Berlin.
