The 3 Brigands, The Giant of Zeralda, John of the Moon, The Mellops… You must know one of these children’s books written by Tomi Ungerer. The artist from Strasbourg, who passed away in February 2019, left a huge mark on the world of illustration in Alsace and in France. But also in the United States, […]
