“Petit Rocher”, a work full of tenderness and poetry
“My favorite this year is Yuichi Kasano’s book“ Petit Rocher ”, a work full of tenderness and poetry that is aimed at children from three years old. It is a very beautiful story which tells the life of a small motionless rock and its encounters. An album which allows young readers to imagine the life of nature when they are not walking there. A work full of the simplicity and talent of Yuichi Kasano. “
This new album by this Japanese cartoonist is a little marvel, which calls for contemplation, which teaches the youngest the meaning of observation, with this little rock which receives visits from frogs, dragonflies, which listens to the murmur of water, in peace with the passing of time. A sweet story, with magnificent illustrations by the author. A work unanimously hailed by the critics, to put in all hands.
