"What the jury said: In the sandbox: sand, buckets, shovels, and above all, pretty little nothings! In the hollow of the palm: a few grains of sand. Full of sun. So many tiny worlds at one’s fingertips. Marion Pedebernade, aka Waii-Waii, will be part of the 2024 French Charte des auteurs et illustrateurs jeunesse’s delegation to the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
A child’s collection of pebbles, folds harbouring small, luminous flakes of sea-smoothed glass, and shell fragments all represent a unique way of viewing the world. This book emphasizes the importance of paying close attention to minutiae and their connection with the cosmos. The jury was impressed by this highly promising debut’s elegant, airy, square, metal staple-bound format, a design that aligns with the content’s poetic essence, conjuring up a narrative and visual atmosphere that, in the finest children’s publishing tradition, stands out for its exquisite specificity."
