With its perfect simplicity and clever concept, one may wonder why a book such as The Ribbon has not been published before!
Simply with its selection of singular
objects and its graphic vivid illustrations, Adrien Parlange’s subjective wordbook would already seduce readers of all ages. But its ultimate singularity consists in an ingenious ribbon bound to the book as a bookmark and which perfectly completes each image when the reader gives it the expected shape. The result is smart and amusing like the tongue of a big snake, the body of a tiny snake, the stream of tea pouring out of the kettle, the untied shoelace…
Adrien Parlange was awarded a Mention in the FICTION category of the BOLOGNA RAGAZZI AWARD 2015 for La Chambre du Lion published by Albin Michel Jeunesse in 2014.

unique creative process and a thematic approach of her core inspirational subjects such as love, death, earth, animals, maternity… In the form of a book of thoughts, Sébastien Perez’s poetic text alternates with excerpts from Frida’s personal notebooks that truthfully restitute her inner emotions whilst Benjamin’s riveting illustrations and the succession of laser-cut pages take us into the depths of her soul.
Faithful to his style, Benjamin Lacombe masterfully succeeds in adapting to fit in Frida Kahlo’s famous emotionally raw and visually disturbing surrealist universe yet again in a completely original and intimate way.
