THE OTHER COUNTRY

« L’autre pays » | Ingrid Chabbert & Raul Guridi | Frimousse, France | 32pp | 23 x 30 cm

The child hangs on to his blanky, he doesn’t understand what’s happening. He follows his parents, leaving everything he knows behind, for a big journey, far, very far away. In a place where life, colours and perfumes are different. He doesn’t look back, passing from a bus to a truck to a car and from the car to a pitching boat. When finally setting foot in this new land, his blanky is gone. But he doesn’t cry. The eyes of his parents are sparkling, he knows everything will be fine.
