You don’t need toys when a child’s imagination is in charge. Especially when you’re dealing with a superhero—or is it a superheroine?
With a cape, you can do so many things—like fly, turn invisible, or carry gifts. But at first, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma don’t see eye to eye on games involving coats, sheets, or towels. “It’s my cape!” insists the child, whose boundless creativity constantly defies reality.
Julia Thévenot, author of the novel Bordeterre, makes her successful debut in children’s picture books. By capturing the energy and determination of a child fully immersed in play, she infuses a family’s daily life with wonder and humor. Illustrator Anne-Hélène Dubray’s contoured images playfully blend reality and fiction in a picture book that is sure to inspire other heroic adventures.
