A Bubble

the long version

Cover title. "Drawn near the end of her life, surrounded by the nature and calm of Anacortes, Washington, Genevi©♭ve Castr©·e drew one final gift for her two-year-old daughter, the stunning board book A Bubble. Leaving behind a last note for a young child is an incomprehensible task; Castr©·e responds with grace and subtlety. Using precise, exquisite drawings of herself and her daughter, changes in their daily routines are depicted as a greater story unfolds. Castr©·e and her daughter float from page to page, encased in a bubble that protects them from the outside world. A contemplation of love and loss, A Bubble is a lasting declaration, a final memory, a comfort for others experiencing grief, and a beautiful archive of one of the world's most talented cartoonist's final artistic achievements."--
