A young child with a backpack gazes upward in quiet wonder at an enormous shoe — rendered with charming, understated linework — that towers above a stretch of calm water. Guillaume Penchinat's cover for this 2013 Le potager moderne release sets a dreamlike, contemplative tone that hints at a story told from a child's perspective, where the everyday world looms vast and full of possibility. It's a genuinely affecting image that draws you in with its simplicity and warmth.
