Attention, masterpiece! Jean-Paul Eid’s Le petit astronaute is an ode to life, a moving celebration of difference through the arrival on Earth of a severely disabled child.

Every year, Juliette makes her pilgrimage by bike to the neighborhood of her childhood. But this year, in front of the old family apartment, a sign reads: For sale – Open house. As she opens the doors of her childhood home, memories come flooding back: friends, small pleasures, but especially the shocking arrival of her brother Tom, the little astronaut.

The author

Jean-Paul Eid has been working in the field of graphic novels since 1985. A contributor to Croc magazine, he created the character Jérôme Bigras. Pages to be read by transparency, pierced albums, interactive scenarios: his work stands out through inventive play on the very language of comics. A jack-of-all-trades, he explores science fiction, historical narrative, and the intimate. His most recent album, Le petit astronaute, was acclaimed by critics and the public, and crowned with several prizes, including the Prix des Libraires.
