On Sunday morning, exuberant Camille has so many things to do. And she has a flair for fashion. She dons her battle dress: a tutu and a top hat and begins her activities. She jumps on the bed, chooses pale yellow as her new favorite color, draws faces on balloons, hides the umbrellas, seeks out the unexpected on a vintage world map, names the ocean waves, eats two pages worth of cherries, asks the wind to tell her a story, and more. Enchanting bold scribbles of black and colorful graphic patterns capture the energy of Camille’s boundless imagination. Camille is a little girl who inspired a line of clothing for Bobo Choses, a high-end children’s apparel company in Spain and around the world. mjw |
