I got this book at the beginning of Spring, and finally got around to read it. I’m so sad I waited so long! The Jellyfish by Boum is an incredible graphic novel that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

Yesterday, I received Berry Song by Michaela Goade from the library. I was so excited about this book because I remember reading and writing about We Are Water Protectors a while back. I was astonished to see that already three years have passed since that book review! At the time of reading that first book, Berry Song had not been published yet, and I was very much looking forward to it. Well, here we go, and it was well worth the wait!

A few months ago, I took a comic book workshop with the amazing Julie Rocheleau. The other participants were such amazing artists, and many of them already had established careers. It was very humbling and inspiring to discuss with such incredible artists! One of them was Félix Girard, and I finally received one of his book through the interlibrary loans. Let’s have a look at Le village dans la mer.

If you are looking for a lighthearted and funny book, look no further and grab a copy of The Moose Belongs to Me, written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

As I’m submitting my own storybook to editors, I spend a lot of time on their websites, and I always find myself browsing for new books.

Let’s have a look at The Year we Learned to Fly written by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by Rafael López.

If you are looking for a soft and quiet book, this one is for you! Let’s have a look at Time Is a Flower by Julie Morstad.

I found this book when I visited the amazing Drawn + Quaterly bookshop in Montreal. I cannot believe it took me so long to go into this bookstore. It is packed to the ceilings with books, and there is just so many things to look at from novels, comics, zines… Can I move there? While I see if that’s a possibility, let’s have a look at Panther, by Brecht Evens.

I’ve been admiring Mathilde Cinq-Mars’ work for years: her beautiful watercolours are always charming. It felt like such a treat to bring back her book Nos fleurs (Our Flowers), written by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette.
