Always Carry Me With You by Hervé Eparvier

medium-paced

4.0

 

This book starts out as a little odd. It starts with a person wishing they were a stone. And most of the page is telling you about stones big and small, and what can and can’t be done with them.  Then it morphs into a story about belonging. How sometimes a stone can be so small that it can be held in a hand. That the act of holding the stone could make you feel or remember the person who gave it to you. So very touching book and very well done. A moment about the art. This art seems fresh and new, at the same time it has a retro 70s mod feeling. The art is the best thing about this book. The story is fantastic but it’s the art that makes it memorable. I want to see more of this art style. I want to hang these pictures on my wall. I want to give this book to others.
