California Dreamin' by Pénélope Bagieu

4.0

Very Nice! I quite like the sifting narrators dancing around Cass and telling her story from the outside. The illustrations are fantastic in a squiggly, expressive way that feels interesting while managing to keep a wide cast of characters differentiated. Story-wise things bounce about and get quite sad in places but it always focuses magnetically back to Cass (as most things seemed to). Bagieu tells her story quite well textually and visually.
