Résumé
On their sixth adventure, Chirri and Chirra bicycle beneath the waves, discovering the beauty of coral and seashells, and the deliciousness of marine edibles.
Texte suppl.
"Chirri & Chirra is an utterly charming series of children’s picture books...low on the angst scale and high on the charm meter.
Doi is known for her softly styled drawings on rich creamy paper. She creates the illustrations in these books with colored pencils, pastels, and crayons, crafting them to give an old-world feel, a time of innocence and simplicity. The exquisite art radiates joy and has a dreamy quality to it that reflects how children imagine their ideal world to be.
These delightful books are a welcome escape for young children from their anxieties." —International Examiner
