It all starts with ten colored shapes sliding on the screen. Suddenly, a few strokes of a pen turn them into funny or poetic drawings. As if by magic, a tree grows, a cat meow, a little girl starts to dance… Here is “Oh!” a magic drawing app signed by Louis Rigaud and Anouck Boisrobert. Those two authors adapted their pop-up book “Oh! mon chapeau”, published by hélium, France, and its whole crowd of colored animals and characters. (UK title: “That’s my hat”, Thames & Hudson).

Plouf & Floup is a book and an app created with two classes of the school Barthélémy Profit, La Rochelle. Children and their teachers, Anaïs Grignon and Manon Clauzel, invited us in their school from March to April 2016.

And created a big picture book of the ocean : Plouf. And his fantastic version : Floup.
