Ce n'est pas toi que j'attendais

A deeply personal and poignant graphic memoir from French publisher Delcourt, Ce n'est pas toi que j'attendais (2014–present) follows author Fabien Toulmé's journey as the father of a child with Down syndrome. The single-issue work chronicles his initial shock, the gradual acceptance, and the unexpected joys of raising his daughter Julia, offering an honest and moving portrait of a family's love and resilience. Its unflinching yet tender exploration of disability and parenthood has made it a standout work in contemporary European autobiographical comics.
