Rendez-vous in Clermont-Ferrand

"It smokes !!! WHAT'S THAT ?"
Oh la la, what a good idea to stay 3 weeks in Sfax to check well the sailing-boat's motor... Now it's out of order in the middle of Mediterranean Sea. No more electricity, no more compas, nothing left. Well. We keep up with the stars, not bad !
The only place to fix the motor once more is Alexandria. Great, it's an antique harbour, Cleopatre and her friends used to get in thanks to the wind, so we're going to do it the same way !... If we get there...
And no more wind left. How do we pray, don't remember ? Are we going to survive ? And how do I find the polar star ? Ahhhhhhh !
To know the end of the story, come and meet me at Clermont-Ferrand on the 13, 14 et 15 of novembre !

30
My 30 birthday, in Bangkok. While helping Ho in her restaurant.
Her mother and sister prepare such a great quantity of tom yam soups...
And I cut Chiang Mai grass.
"Emily, now it's busy. You'll be in charge of Kop Ko Ka Pi. Put a bit of rice in the middle of the plate, then omelette, and all around, oignons, chili, mango, shrimps, cucumbers, flowers, and caramelized pork. Ok ? Action !"
Then we go to the temple. "This is birthday : you wish something and free little fishes to the river."
And feed the cat-fishes...
Everybody's there down the water !

Africa, right to childhood
At the beginning of August, I was living between two continents : Africa and Asia.
In Asia physically, I was working during the week-end with children from Myanmar, refugees in Thailand. They had seen the worse and drew big bad men, tanks and riffles. Such a reality in their drawings. During the week in Bangkok, I could see 5 years old Olivers Twists working hard in the streets.
Besides this, I had an african experience while illustrating african children telling their childless stories. Active authors fond of Africa, Jessica Nliba and Didier Reuss give them right to speak through childlike stories without judgement, which gives them more strength. They were telling what I was seeing : the right to childhood.
From this has come true a beautiful book thanks to publisher Editions le Sablier. Author's children expression, African artistic work and my illustrations, a hopeful book to children's rights in Africa and the whole world.
Afrique, right to childhood will be published on the 13th of novembre. And presented on the 20th of novembre in fondation Blachère during a public event. Please come to meet us and this beautiful project :
Thanks to the authors Jessica Nliba and Didier Reuss and to the publisher Editions le Sablier, such a great collaboration.
See you soon...
