 | Boucheries (Touzazimute) (French Edition) by Nathalie Lete
This book is part of the French Touzazimute collection, which is composed of a series of small books by diverse illustrators. This particular book by Nathalie Lété and Frédéric Rey is one of my favorites. The illustrations, created in different media, are very spontaneous and fun. I love faces on page 9, which are sculpted from different meats and vegetables.
