Benjamin & The Pillow Saga
by Stéphane Poulin
- 1 Want to read
Benjamin works in a factory making magic pillows. Deep, rich illustrations and a witty text tell the story of Benjamin, a happy man who lives with his parents, seldom speaks, and always hums.
.."one of the most original and different books to come along this year (or any year)." - "The Reading Edge"
"The rich, witty drawings in this book have an almost European, sometimes dark, flavour to them, bringing to mind some fairy tale illustrations of yesteryear." - "Edmonton Sun"
"Stephane Poulin's gently humourous, offbeat fable springs vividly to life through his superb illustrations. Poulin's witty paintings are richly textured and deeply tinted--gloriously different from the bright, cartoony pictures we often see in children's books." - "Today's Parent"
"Well-wrought canvasses combine folksiness and pizzazz, and lots of the architectural interest at which Poulin is so adept..." - "In Search of Canadian Materials"
"Winner of the Governor General's Award for illustration."
