Fanny Britt & Isabelle Arsenault

Three short stories about the irresistible, inquisitive, willful character Truffle and his day-to-day life: Truffle is a rock star, Truffle loves Nina and Truffle deals with life.

With his friends Flo and Riad, Truffle starts a rock band and tries to get the attention of a lovely girl named Nina. Helped by his older brother Louis and his parents, he will deal with both funny and challenging situations.

A book about friendship and love in all forms. Truffle will learn to follow his dreams as crazy as they are.

The book jacket can be folded out as a poster. The three stories can be published separately.

"It is pure delight spending time with Truffle. Arsenault’s whimsical art transports us directly into his imagination. And hisopenhearted approach to every challenge he encounters is inspiring. Even big life problems don’t seem so bad when viewed throughTruffle-colored glasses. Bittersweet and nuanced, these two books are perfect for sensitive dreamers. Like the first line of the first song Truffle writes (“Sovery glad that I feel kinda sad”), they share the philosophy that pain and joy are different sides of the same coin, and love is alwaysworth the chance." Vera Brosgol, The New York Times
