“The author, a French comics illustrator, has created a wonderfully engaging children’s/graphic art book for all ages. It’s a tour through the seasons, with each page depicting a scene or object reminiscent of that time of year. The artwork is somewhat retro and the mood varies from being playful to sometimes ironic (as ‘fragrance’ leads to ‘allergy.’) Just the feel of the paper makes it easy to immerse oneself in this book. At the end the author says, fittingly: ‘Blexbolex got lost for a while in the pages of his books. He has needed two summers, an autumn, a winter, a spring, several storms and a lot of sunshine to rediscover the seasons for himself.’ “—Carol, Santoro’s Books, Seattle.
