(1) 4-6 Translated by Susan Ouriou. Illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. The collaborators behind Jane, the Fox & Me have crafted another poignant picture book–size graphic novel. Louis and his little brother live with their always-worried mom, occasionally visiting their untreated-alcoholic dad. Louis's insightful observations about realistic familial struggles are heart-rending; dramatic pencil and ink illustrations employ powerfully moving wordless panels and splashes of yellow and greenish-blue to depict his somber world.
