In the press...
Aïxa, Sand Castles is also interested in the transplantation of a Creole child into Quebec. Famous sand castles will have to go to the snow castles.
It will not always be easy, because it will leave a lot behind, from the kinship to the generous outlines to the animals integrated in the decor and life.
On the other hand, there will be less fear of cyclones and ugly soldiers who are looking for people who do not think in the same way as the government. Beautiful work in all respects. That Pirouli, a publisher that I did not know, receives the hat-trick that greets arrivals and successes.

I really liked your book Aïxa. I liked when you came last year. I found that weird name (Uncle Camille) - It's a girl's name. There is also Mamie-moi, in the french book, it's funny as a nickname. I found your story beautiful. Did you only do this book?

A word to express our admiration for the tasty and fascinating story of the little Aïxa. The illustrations are fresh and cheerful. We especially liked the detached illustrations that nicely enamel the text. These are sunny images that make us want to know better the country of your childhood.
P.S .: a graphic quality achievement
