The cover says it all: looming above a warm, earthy landscape, the weathered and smiling face of Père Pedro gazes down over a group of children gathered around two adults, their expressions full of life and belonging. The subtitle — *Père Pedro, l'humanité par l'action* — frames this 2021 Franco–Belgian release from Des Bulles dans l'Océan as a deeply human story of compassion in practice. With Rafally's cover art grounding the tone in both tenderness and purpose, this looks like one of the more quietly meaningful graphic narratives of its year.
