A Whale of a Dream - Hardcover

Maïlys Cart-Lamy is a French author and illustrator who thrives on creating visual worlds that encourage contemplation, spark imagination and foster meaningful connections. Her work often features sketched and colored universes with inclusive characters that people can connect with. A significant portion of her independent work is dedicated to illustrating for youth, and she is currently working on her first graphic novel. What drives her most is using her talents for projects with deep meaning, particularly in areas like mental health, ecology, feminism and social solidarity. And, as a personal dream, she yearns for the possibility of breathing beneath the sea, like a humpback whale.
