I thought the design of this book was especially clever. The book comes in a case that is made to look like an old box of matches, and when you slide the book out, the book cover shows all of the matches.

european picture books - céleste, une étoile dans la nuit
I so enjoyed "La mémoire envolée" that I decided to pick up another book illustrated by French illustrator, Marie Desbons. This one is called "Céleste, une étoile dans la nuit" and it's about a matchstick with big dreams. It's based on the Hans Christan Anderson tale, The Little Match Girl.

european picture books - la mémoire envollée
This book is from France, called 'La mémoire envollée' and it was illustrated by Marie Desbons. I love her characters, her delicate style and her imaginative illustrations. These are my 2 favorite spreads:

I love how she drew the scarf and the way is wraps around the spread.
The story is really nice too.
