Elle est où la fête? Waar is da feestje? Where’s the party at?

On the eve of summer, a host of characters join together in a pageant that leads them to a great festival where, dancing and singing, they celebrate the return of the sun. In this joyous ode to diversity, the characters created by Hell’O, a duo to which CFC-Éditions has already devoted a book (Hell’O Monsters. Untitled Odyssey, 2018), move forward together, sharing their differences. Short, tall, fat, lean, muscular… Some have three legs, others several heads, but they are all united through a strong, life-giving energy. This all-inclusive procession of exhilarated characters rushes towards the dance floor, where they will dance together until the early hours.

For their first creation for children, the artists have opted for a concertina book in which they can unfold their universe through 2 series of 5 cardboards (recto and then verso) filled with beautiful and extraordinary characters to be admired and scrutinised. The book also contains a second, uncoloured version of the story which allows the children themselves to colour the characters and their world to their heart’s content.
