Richard Marnier0.0 From French author-illustrator duo Richard Marnier and Aude Maurel comes a captivating picture book about creativity, diversity, and self-expression.
This is my town,
simple and typical.
Each house has a door,
two windows, a red roof
―all so predictable
But then one night… someone leaves on their light!
And in the morning, what a shock!
The shutters are sealed tight!
Who is that who lives next door?
We’ve never seen anything like this before!
In a town where everyone follows the rules, one neighbor’s decision to leave the light on at night completely disrupts the neighborhood, sparking a creative revolution. Vibrant, poetic, and fun, Who Left the Light On? playfully teaches the powerful lesson that diversity, creativity, and individuality should be celebrated.

Жан-Клод Мурлева0.0 En ce radieux matin d'automne, le hérisson Jefferson décide d'aller chez son coiffeur se faire raffraîchir la houpette. Comment pourrait-il imaginer, alors qu'il arrive plein d'entrain au salon "Défini-Tif", que sa vie est sur le point de basculer ?
Accusé d'un meurtre qu'il n'a pas commis, le brave Jefferson, 72 cm de frousse et de courage, est jeté dans une aventure qui le mènera, pour le meilleur et pour le pire, au pays des êtres humains.
Dans un polar haletant, parfois féroce, mais où dominent la tendresse, l'amitié et le bonheur de vivre, Jean-Claude Mourlevat aborde de façon inédite la question de notre rapport aux animaux.
Франсуа Плас0.0 An illustrated fantasy, told as fact, with a message for children and adults. The tale of a lost race of giants and what happens when their existence, and their location, becomes known by the outside world.
After finding a huge tooth on the docks, English explorer Archibald Leopold Ruthmore sets out to seek the race of giants to whom the tooth belongs and discovers nine giants, the survivors of a singularly gentle and kindly race. He lives among them for ten months, and on returning home he makes a mistake that he regrets forever―he writes a book revealing their existence and location.
School Library Journal said, “Part fable, part fantasy, and part morality tale, this unusual French import takes the form of a 19th-century explorer’s journal, illustrated with intricate watercolors… The powerful and thought-provoking messages require reflection and may be used to spark lively discussions.”
Lucie Brunelliere0.0 A scientific team has boarded the submarine Oceanos to explore the ocean’s depths. Suddenly, it gets caught in a violent storm, causing it to drift thousands of miles off-course. From the glittering surface of the sea to the darkness of the abyss, Deep in the Ocean takes readers on a bewitching journey through fascinating waters—some warm, colorful, and crowded with sea creatures, others mysterious and turbulent. Six colors of ink (including neon pink and metallic silver) are used throughout, and a free downloadable soundtrack allows readers to feel even more fully immersed in this beautiful underwater world.

Тимоте де Фомбель4.5 Timothée de Fombelle and Isabelle Arsenault capture the heart-wrenching cost of war for one small girl in a delicately drawn, expertly told tale.
While her father is at war, five-year-old Rosalie is a captain on her own secret mission. She wears the disguise of a little girl and tracks her progress in a secret notebook. Some evenings, Rosalie’s mother reads aloud Father’s letters from the front lines, so that Rosalie knows he is thinking of her and looking forward to the end of the war and to finally coming home. But one day a letter comes that her mother doesn’t read to her, and Rosalie knows her mission must soon come to an end. Author Timothée de Fombelle reveals the true consequence of war through the experiences of small, determined Rosalie, while acclaimed artist Isabelle Arsenault illustrates Rosalie’s story in muted grays marked with soft spots of color — the orange flame of Rosalie’s hair, the pale pink of a scarf, the deep blue ink of her father’s letters. All the more captivating for the simplicity with which it is drawn and told, this quiet tale will stay with the reader long after its last page is turned.
Кристель Дабо4.5 Офелию подхватил вихрь поразительных событий и перемен. Ещё вчера девушка была новым человеком на Полюсе, не понимающим, что происходит вокруг, а сегодня она - в центре грандиозной интриги! Ей предстоит свидание, о котором многие обитатели Полюса мечтают десятилетиями: со дня на день Офелия встретится с самим Фаруком, Духом ковчега.
Во второй книге серии "Сквозь зеркала" героиня уже не выглядит ребёнком, потерявшимся в загадочном мире взрослых. Наконец-то ей представляется шанс взять судьбу в собственные руки! И кстати, руки здесь помогут как нельзя лучше: в кончиках пальцев, старательно спрятанных под перчатками, заключена магическая сила. За такой дар сам Фарук готов многое отдать, а нежеланный жених героини, изворотливый и непредсказуемый Торн, и вовсе мог бы убить…
Фантастический мир Кристель Дабо, раздробленный на парящие во Вселенной ковчеги, обрастает подробностями, и теперь его законы известны читателям. Однако от этого сюрпризов не становится меньше - напротив, с каждой главой история девушки с Анимы, против воли перебравшейся на Полюс, развивается всё неожиданнее. Как спасти свой бесценный дар чтицы от чужих амбиций и алчности? Как выжить в загоне с хищниками? Эти загадки Офелии предстоит разгадать.
Тетралогия "Сквозь зеркала" французской писательницы Кристeль Дабo (родилась в 1980 году) - это целая альтернативная реальность, замысловатая и непредсказуемая, но продуманная до мельчайших деталей. Мировой тираж первого тома превышает 500 тыс. экземпляров, а франкоязычный интернет заполнен фан-артом по мотивам историй об Офелии. Первая книга, вышедшая в 2018 году в издательстве "КомпасГид", сразу стала хитом, и продолжение истории - настоящий подарок российским поклонникам Кристель Дабо.
Orianne Lallemand0.0 Wolf can’t tell which emotion he is feeling sometimes; happy, sad, excited, jealous, there are far too many. When his moods begin to change without warning, Wolf’s friends begin to worry, and aren’t sure how to handle the confused whirlwind of their companion’s feelings. Finally, Wolf decides that enough is enough, and sets out to tame his ever-changing emotions, a feat more easily said than done. How exactly does he intend to manage his moods?
Coralie Saudo0.0 My Dad at the Zoo is a tale of role reversal in which Dad reverts to the unsocialized, wild ways of childhood. Probably tired from all of his wearying antics around bedtime, here Dad heads off to the zoo with his son and goes completely zany.
Лоик Довилье0.0 In this gentle, poetic young graphic novel, Dounia, a grandmother, tells her granddaughter the story even her son has never heard: how, as a young Jewish girl in Paris, she was hidden away from the Nazis by a series of neighbors and friends who risked their lives to keep her alive when her parents had been taken to concentration camps.
Hidden ends on a tender note, with Dounia and her mother rediscovering each other as World War II ends . . . and a young girl in present-day France becoming closer to her grandmother, who can finally, after all those years, tell her story. With words by Loïc Dauvillier and art by Marc Lizano and Greg Salsedo, this picture book-style comic for young readers is a touching read.

Tom Haugomat0.0 This powerfully silent graphic novel follows the saga of a boy who grows up to be an astronaut, just like he always wanted, until a fatal space shuttle crash upends his life, and he begins to find solace in beauty here on earth.
Told through a series of poignant vignettes, Through A Life is a sweeping story of dreams, expectations, nature, and loss. Rodney spends his life looking through. Windows give way to screens as he comes of age dreaming of what lies beyond Earth's atmosphere. This powerfully silent graphic novel follows the saga of a boy who grows up to be an astronaut, just like he always wanted, until a fatal space shuttle crash upends his life, and he begins to find solace in the beauty here on earth.
"This nearly wordless graphic novel . . . is like one extended gut punch over the course of 200 pages . . . Constructed of gorgeous, flat screen-print style drawings, a whole life comes to pass without a line of narration or dialogue—love and its failings, depression, and a tragedy in space that keeps the protagonist tethered forever to earth."—Kristen Radtke, The Believer
Benedicte Guettier0.0 Ce petit fantôme-là est très contrarié : on ne le voit pas (évidemment, puisque c'est un fantôme...), mais lui, justement, voudrait beaucoup qu'on le voie et qu'on s'intéresse à lui ! Alors, il enfile un drap, plein d'espoir. Mais ça ne marche toujours pas : personne ne le sert au café, on marche sur son drap - bref, on l'ignore. Dépité, il se réfugie dans un vieux château à l'abandon, encore plus triste qu'avant. Mais... mais attendez, il n'est pas vide, ce château ! Il est même plein de fantômes comme lui : dans la salle de bains, au salon, en cuisine et jusque dans le jardin, il y en a partout ! Et tous le voient, évidemment.
