The Bibis' Great Journey
About this book
Disaster strikes the Bibis! The gas station next to Bibiville has
just been demolished. Goodbye, leftover food that kept everyone
going: the little community is in danger! They’ll have to find a
new safe haven.On scooters, bikes, and skateboards, a ragtag convoy of pups of every kind sets off in search of a new promised land (where they can stock up on kibble and canned food).
Along the way, they’ll meet a big bear with hearty recipes, a community of architect beavers, a squirrel who loves collecting treasures...
Each encounter is a chance to learn how to live in a new environment: fishing, foraging, cooking, recycling... the Bibis discover there are so many different ways to make a home in this world. The end of the journey might not be what you think!BY THE SAME ARTIST:

THE AUTHOR-ILLUSTRATOR
Éponine Cottey was born at the dawn of the Summer of 1989 somewhere in the Chaourçais area, in the heart of the wet Champagne region (France)... In the middle of corn and books, they draw all the time in her house and often houses. When it was time to leave this Eden, Éponine went to Paris to study illustration at the Estienne school and then studied at the Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. In 2021, she published her first book Welcome to Bibiville, the fruit of her love for puppies and architect's cabins. She also illustrated Love Weather, written by Camille Floue and published by 4048.
