Summer, rich in moments of relaxation, is presented here with simplicity and gentleness. The pretext: a little girl, on vacation at her uncle's, wanders around the house and meets various protagonists who, one after the other, borrow a few minutes from their routine to relax and observe what the summer sky has to offer. The minimalist poetry of the text is such that it suggests a different view of the characters' actions; standing guard can be done in many ways, while preparing a meal and reading the newspaper have a whole new definition here.This album is an ode to summer, of course, but above all it is an invitation to relax, to take time to live and to take it slowly. An invitation to open our eyes, no matter where we are, to observe what is around us.This album was shortlisted for the Tatoulu 2021 Prize, Pink Tatoulu category and for The White Ravens Prize of the International Youth Library Munich 2017, and won the Golden Island Prize 2019, the Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Awards, Illustrated Book category 2017 and the Ibby Poland Prize 2017.

But what a mess all these ideas are!

As soon as night falls

they enter one by one

they jostle, dance, follow each other

they sit on the arm of the sofa

they moo

and off they go!

welcome to the great circus of ideas!

What's above the ceiling? The sky, yes, but higher, even higher, behind, what is there? Since the dawn of time, men have been asking themselves this question, who could be hiding behind it: the god of the winds, a lame devil, the queen of the night, the master of time? So they decided to build a tower, a huge tower to climb high, always higher, above the birds, above the clouds, to see, to know... But what did they see?

Matsuko plays at the water's edge, with her kite. Watching it fly, she gets lost in dreams. Buried dreams, dreams of freedom. The unity of the shapes and colours, the refined landscapes and the theme of the album make for a sweet song, that of the dreamed future, "one day". An album of great delicacy. Ricochet
