The day comes to an end and the park empties out. But Théo doesn’t seem to hear when his mom tells him it’s time to go home. He goes for a toboggan ride, climbs a tree branch, and asks his mother: “Why is my name Théo? I might as well have been called Fichteflou. Or I don’t know… Estakli? But no: it’s Théo”. His mom joins in, and the two of them create an imaginary language that makes you forget the time’s passing… After Josette, Clarisse Lochmann is back with luminous illustrations that, despite their blurriness, create a precise and accurate atmosphere. She recounts a slice of life full of everyday fantasy, an invitation to laugh along with the protagonists and continue their game.

Clarisse Lochmann was born in Nantes in 1990. She studied Graphic Design in Paris. Her artistic practice focuses on the interplay of colour and transparency: she combines hand-painted illustrations (in ink, for example) with shapes that she draws on the computer. The confrontation of these two techniques creates spaces of contrasts that she loves to play with.
She has illustrated Même les crocodiles n'ont pas sommeil (text by Stéphanie Demasse-Pottier, Cépages), Fin d'été (text by Stéphanie Demasse-Pottier, L'Étagère du bas), and written and illustrated La passoire and Dans la file (L'atelier du poisson soluble).
