Ariane et Nicolas #1

A charming French-language adventure from 1996, *Le Rêve du Capitaine* kicks off the *Ariane et Nicolas* series with a lively scene set aboard an old wooden ship's deck, where a colorful crew of young characters — including what appear to be pirate-costumed kids — are caught up in a spirited scuffle or game. Paul Roux's bright, rounded artwork gives the whole cover a playful energy that feels perfectly suited to an all-ages audience. A delightful opener from Éditions Mille-Îles that invites readers of all ages to set sail with these two young heroes.
