This beautifully illustrated picture book by French artist Blexbolex uses deceptively simple full-page pictures and single-word captions to explore the cycle of seasons, the passage of time and the way we live and play. With thick-art paper, rich colours and pictures reminiscent of ‘60s children’s book illustrations, it’s equally at home in the kids’ bookshelves or the coffee table.
