Make Everyday Creative

"Quelle merveilleuse journée ! Idéale pour se promener les pattes à l'air", se dit Bob. Mais les moqueries viennent lui gâcher la balade... Trop maigres, les pattes de Bob ? C'est ce qu'on va voir ! Un très joli album qui aborde avec humour et dérision un thème fort et riche : l'image de soi (et la violence du regard des autres), et le fait de s'assumer tel que l'on est. La créativité et toutes les inspirations artistiques que l'on peut trouver sont aptes à transformer l'image que l'on a de soi, tout en modifiant l'image que les autres ont de nous, pour, au final, s'accepter pleinement !

Bob l'artiste
