Charlotte Parent

 


Milo The Knight , written by Grégoire Laforce and charmingly illustrated by Charlotte Parent.

"Like Milo, I was a soldier and so was my dad. For a long time, I didn’t know that I was also wearing armor, but I felt the weight of it anyway. It was heavy and invisible, and it prevented me from connecting to my emotions and being empathetic toward others. I was playing the role of a tough guy, but I didn’t feel sure of myself. I was a like a fortified castle and my armor was protecting me — but it also held me prisoner. When I got back from my deployment, my defences began to crumble. For me, it was the start of the rediscovery of my inner child, of my emotions, of listening." Grégoire Laforce

Paloma Valdivia II


How I missed this earthly delight I do not know, but it has found me now. 'The Book of Questions'  (70 of the 320) is the last collection of poetry written by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. It is stunningly illustrated by Chilean illustrator Paloma Valdivia.
