IN THE MEDIA

 

"On the cover, two large round eyes are watching us. Who is this strange giant? It is said that he wanders the streets of a sleeping village. No one has ever seen him, but everyone senses him around a bend in the landscape, from a footprint, or from strange movements during the night. We imagine him shy, discreet, and above all mischievous. For despite being a giant, he is still a child. A poetic adventure between dream and reality.  " - Pomme d'Api, Bayard (France)
