quoting my friend Gilberte:
« I'm sure he's chitchatting with Mr. Mustache right now, while they're sipping tea and eating tiny macarons. Lucky bastards.»

Jättefina bilder och figurer, det känns som att de skulle kunna smyga ut om natten och hälsa på mina!

artlibrarian said...

Please consider making prints out of some of the illustrations in the book! They would be so perfect for a child's room.

Kickcan & Conkers said...

I've just bought the French version this afternoon from a shop in Montpellier and I just can't stop looking at it. I love it. I'm going to put it away for my children for Christmas and already know that it will be a very special book enjoyed by all...wonderful!

Seat Camilla, reviewing tour book was a real pleasure. On tue US side you got very good reactions too, Jules at 7Imp was charme by your images too. I bought a copy for my niece, she got crazy for it, she is only 4 but she keeps looking at your images! I reali hope you'll find an English/american publisher for it!!!! Cristiana

Cristiana C. said...

Oh my!!! I'm really not used to this phone's T9!!! Sorry for the many mistakes....one for all it was dear Camilla, not Seat Camilla.... Did I just call you like a car?!? Oh my!!!

nina corvallo said...

Camilla, I finally got my hands on a copy (the Italian version) and I just love it! My husband, who is Italian, also loved it and it is his favorite book to read to our son Balthazar. He says the language is really beautiful and all three of us love the illustrations. Thank you for doing such interesting work!
