I bought this book some years ago in at the San Diego Museum of Art in their gift shop. It was a wonderful find! I loved the cover and then read the book with in minutes and was crying at the end. It's a quick read but packed with lots of emotion. The book was
originally published in France in 1964, but the message is still so relevant today.
Each page is a delight in expressive illustrations and typography. Anyone who loves illustration, typography and unique books this is a find. Note that this is NOT a children's book. I did read it once to my 4 year old daughter and she was in tears from the beginning, and was upset for sometime after reading the book. I felt horrible about it.
This is a raw look at not being loved as a small little girl and being all alone in the world with only one desire and this is to love someone, anyone.
The book really makes you think about the importance of
compassion, understanding and above all Love.
If you turn the last page and not burst into tears or at least feel love bursting inside of you then you might just be a loveless person.
