Three Cute Babies
The debut collaboration between popular French creators Céline Claire and Anouk Ricard, taking an absurd, whimsical look at identity.
One night, completely in the dark, three cute babies are born. And when we say “in the dark,” we really mean it: apart from being babies, this trio has no idea what kind of babies they actually are!
Are they penguins? Are they pigs? Are little talking trains!? Slathered in clouds of cotton candy after a fall into a vat of pink sugar, the three cute babies go on an adventure to find clues as to the nature of their existence — until they’re captured by a big, bad wolf! What will become of the three cute babies and, more importantly, will their identities ever be revealed?
IN THE MEDIA
"An identity quest can only be serious, can't it? Céline Claire sees things differently, and her Three Cute Babies is a hilarious demonstration of the fact that you can go in search of your roots in a light-hearted way. (...) In a delightful nod to the fable of the three little pigs, their quest comes to a conclusion as unexpected as it is delicious. With its cleverly iterative writing and illustrations where mystery is covered in ridicule, this story tickles the delicate identity issue while eliciting the most harmless laughter." - Yannick Marcoux, Le Devoir (Canada)
"A humorous story with a end as funny as surprising." - La Presse (Canada)
