Just back from a book signing by Ania Lemin. Her new volume Gaelle et Hector is about the love life of a cloud. A simple story with some deceptively simple illustrations. We talk about books and children (she teaches L. after school on a Friday afternoon) and the pleasures of papers, pens and pencils. She explains how she gets the children to use sharpened twigs and inks made out of berries and nuts. Music to my ears.

I wasn't aware of her other work but now see she's got a Blog at:

Worth a look. (She sings, too).
