One day, on his way home from school, a boy meets… a wolf from a fairy tale. But the wolf completely lost its shape and became like a sad dog: “No one believes in me anymore. Nobody is afraid of me. This is the end». The little hero hides the wolf in his closet, feeds him chocolates (he refuses canned cat food) and, most importantly, supports his fallen spirit in every possible way.
One day, on his way home from school, a boy meets… a wolf from a fairy tale. But the wolf completely lost its shape and became like a sad dog: “No one believes in me anymore. Nobody is afraid of me. This is the end». The little hero hides the wolf in his closet, feeds him chocolates (he refuses canned cat food) and, most importantly, supports his fallen spirit in every possible way. French artist Delphine Perret’s elegant black-and-white comic strip hides a subtle psychological game: a first grader who feels insecure in a new environment and faces unaccustomed adult demands will be helped by a situation in which he finds himself an older, responsible for someone weaker. Many children recognize themselves in this hero — and they will be happy to imagine how they themselves bring chocolates and glazed curds from the school buffet to a friend who lives in a closet.
