How about a French picture book import? I’ve a review over at the Horn Book of Morgane de Cadier’s‘s Just to See (Blue Dot Kids Press, May 2022), illustrated by Florian Pigé and translated by Johanna McCalmont.

That review is here, and below are some spreads. [Note: Reading this review at their site may require a subscription to the Horn Book.]

Enjoy!



 


“I know the forest inside out. Every day, I watch it from my tree house.
I study every little thing for miles around.”
