Mabelle
A picture book from Uruguay
→ Infos
Mabelle recently moved in a house outside the city. She loves to get on her bike to explore the surroundings. On one of these outings she discovers a field with marigolds swaying in the wind. How beautifully they glow! She picks a large bunch of flowers to take home.
When she gets off her bike at the field one morning, she is surprised: there is not a single marigold to be seen. What on earth has happened? Mabelle sets off in search of her favourite flowers …
Uruguayan illustrator Matías Acosta showed his sense of nuances in his picture book The Summer Guests. With «Mabelle» again he takes us into a world full of small wonders and the secrets of nature. With his colours and pencils, he created a dreamlike, yet very tangible space for reflection and further thought.
