Author and youth illustrator Delphine Perret, Queen of Little Riens

His pen is precise, funny, moving.His playground?The daily life, which she crunches with a crazy humanity, as in her latest album, "the most beautiful summer in the world".Meet.

The portal opens on its own.The wide wind, no doubt.A garden unfolds, sympathetic at first glance, with its knotty fruit trees playing clothesline."The light is very beautiful here.The sky often has a theatrical air!And the sea is heard: the sound of thevals comes certain evenings to my windows, "said the tenant of the place, in a synthetic and intense email, like all that she writes and draws.There was long time in Lyon, and just before the first confinement, as she approaches her 40th anniversary, Delphine Perret was sheltered in this house in Croisic.An installation in unknown land, with his son as the only mark.

The child appears in his latest book, the most beautiful summer in the world.An exceptional album, full of emotion and discretion, which can be read in large and small, summer, fall, winter, spring, and so on.An autobiographical story with watercolor, where words are exchanged between a mother and her boy, on the little things that weld them." - Can you wear my stick?"- If you don't use it anymore we throw it away.- Nope !I run and then I still use it."A feeling of accomplishment springs from this logbook where the banality of everyday life, the impression that each dialogue, each color, culminates in summits of mastery and simplicity.From the outside, no trace of the work.And yet, Delphine Perret says he has struggled.
