The Puddle
A picturebook for toddlers with gorgeous woodcuts.
The rain has stopped. In the puddle left on the path, a bee, a swallow, some sparrows, a turtle, and a few ducks cool down in turn. When a little girl arrives and says: « I too want to play with you! », the ducks waddle away. But playing alone is no fun! Luckily, a small pig arrives.
The strength of this picture book resides in its simplicity: the artist turns a prosaic puddle into a real piece of art.
May Angeli’s woodcuts were exhibited in 2021 at the French National Library in a full retrospective of her 60 years of work.
