Everyone has the power to make a work of art come to life
 
Pompon may be a statue of a white bear in a museum, but he has dreams like anyone else does. He yearns to break free and roam the world. Then one day a small boy comes to visit him, and the power of his gaze, his wonder, his love is enough to start a wondrous transformation. Could it be that Pompon just needs a young art lover’s appreciation to journey all over the world? Inspired by the famous sculpture by François Pompon in the Louvre, this is a poetic, touchingly illustrated story that shows the power of imagination to bring art to life.
Originally from France, Géraldine Elschner studied Germanic and Romance languages.
She has since translated scores of books from German to French and French to German, as well as writing some of her own stories. She draws inspiration from her three children as well as the beautiful town of Heidelberg where she lives. She is the author of many picture books including The Cat and the Bird, Funny Machines for George the Sheep, and Where is the Frog? Originally from France, she studied Germanic and Romance languages, and has translated scores of books, including The Nativity, published by minedition. View titles by Géraldine Elschner
Joanna Bolliot is an illustrator of many books in her native France. This is her first book for minedition. View titles by Joanna Bolliot
