Illustrated by
Joanna Boillat.
When Leo touches a statue in Paris' Musée d'Orsay, the bear comes to life. Named for his sculptor, François Pompon (mentioned in the background note), Pompon the bear mysteriously flies away; Elschner imagines it's now Pompon's "twin" in his place..." and he is waiting for someone like you to visit him." Strong forms, muted colors, and red accents dominate the illustrations in this whimsical tale of art appreciation.
