LITERATURE + LECTURES

Blue Willow Bookshop presents  Joelle Jolivet.  We're partnering with Spring Branch ISD's Altharetta Yeargin Art Museum to put together a Family Art Day featuring French illustrator Joelle Jolivet. Joelle will talk about her artwork and we will all get to take part in some fun crafts ourselves.

Joelle has illustrated two very clever books, 365 Penguins and Panorama. She will be visiting Houston to discuss and sign her newest book, Oops!, which is a very funny tale about the escapades that follow a family through the streets of Paris as they try to get to the airport for their vacation. Ms. Jolivet is known for her distinctive retro design and use of black and white in book illustration.

Her latest book Oops! follows a family through the streets of Paris as they try to get to the airport for their vacation. Back at their apartment, their house-sitting aunt slips on some soap, setting off a chain reaction of events that create some extreme roadblocks for the family's trip. A movie shoot, a parade, policemen, rampaging bears, aliens, and much more collide in this remarkable new picture book adventure. The book includes a gatefold page at the end that explains in detail the train of chaos on the previous pages.

Come and meet the very creative and talented Ms. Jolivet!
