Translated by Talleen Hacikyan.
After young Pikiq of the Far North finds a box in the snow containing art supplies, he uses the snow as his canvas. The next morning, he wakes to find his world full of surreal, color-drenched scenes (e.g., a sleeping giant overgrown with grass); apparently, it was all a dream. This French picture book's illustrations are individually gorgeous but lack narrative significance.
