(3) PS Translated by Christelle Morelli. Many picture books feature reluctant sleepers, but this specimen is among the better ones. Maybe it's the omniscient narrator's informality ("The night is such a pain!"). Maybe it's Blanche's boisterous defiance (one illustration catches her mid-somersault). Maybe it's the visual range Delacroix achieves with a palette of black on slate blue. Whatever the reason, this small book offers big payoffs.
