Summer vacation is going great for a girl who has everything to herself--including Grandpa--until a gray patch arrives.
Recipient of the 2017 Montreuil Children's Book Salon Pépite D'Or Literary Award - Silver Medalist in the 2018 Society of Illustrators Original Art Exhibition - A USBBY Outstanding International Book of 2019 - A 100 Scope Notes Most Astonishingly Unconventional Children's Book of 2018
In this wordless story from artist Blexbolex, a young girl's idyllic vacation is interrupted by the appearance of an unexpected houseguest, and she learns how hard it can be to invite another in on the fun.
On vacation at her grandfather's home in the countryside, a young girl has thoroughly been enjoying her summer. All this time, she has had the garden, the kitchen, forest paths, the lake, and even Grandpa all to herself. So when her grandfather brings an elephant home to stay, she is not pleased at all. How will she react to this intrusion into what she believes to be her own personal space and time?
Nostalgic and often dreamlike, this wordless story is about interrupted solitude, learning to be together with another, and how the choices we make deeply affect our lives. With beautifully textured pages inside a hardcover with cloth spine, this is silent visual storytelling at its best!
