A picture book for grownups

January 18, 2018 by soapyme Leave a Comment

I think that there must be a moment during everyone’s childhood when you realize that adults are not infallible, not even your own parents. Over twenty years later, I can still remember my own personal moment, and those feelings are captured perfectly in Louis Undercover, written by playwright Fanny Britt and beautifully illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. Louis is a young boy whose parents have separated. He and his little brother, Truffle, are shuttled between their mother’s apartment in the city and their father’s house in the […]

How Jane and a Fox ease the pain of cruelty

January 28, 2015 by bonnie 3 Comments

The Chancellor read a comics compilation this Cannonball read, and he recommended Fanny Britt’s Jane, the Fox, and Me. I was highly intrigued–I like Jane Eyre, and I LOVE foxes. So I was excited to see what this was all about. I was not prepared to work out my tear ducts. Hélène is a bullied young teenager in Quebec. She used to be friends with the popular girls in school, but now they gawk and giggle when she walks by, and they write terrible things […]

    Maybe they’ll share it when they do a special edition box set after the third (?) book comes out.
