He-from-the-last-row-of-the-class doesn’t like school, he feels different from his classmates and is bored. But a new pupil arrives and sits in the front of the class. Her name is Jessica. A whole class separates them… He-from-the-last-row has no choice: to meet She-from-the-first-row, he has to go all the way to the blackboard. Will he dare to do it?

“A wonderful album with a poetic and slightly offbeat tone, with clean, essential and accurate graphics, which speak beautifully of difference, the look of others, the interiority of children, and, above all, of love! Infinitely touching.” (Librairies Sorcières)
