One morning
Jérôme Dubois & Laurie Agusti
A dreamlile and utterly original “choose your own adventure book” following a child trying to bring colours back to the world.
A child wakes up one morning and doesn’t recognize the world surrounding him/her: the colours have disappeared from the house and the whole town! Yet, in the streets, the bystanders don’t seem to notice this peculiar change. Hoping to find the lost colours, the child goes to familiar places: the park, the cinema, the pizza truck… There, he meets mischievious coloured balls that explain they are his memories: every time he finds one, another recollection comes to his mind and new colours reappear around him. The balls will take the child on a funny and unsettling quest: several paths are possible and it’s up to the reader to decide which way the child will go!
This coming-of-age expedition through a urban scenery is also a journey into a child’s memory made of games, fears and pleasures.
