“Moi, j’attends” follows the life of an ordinary man from the moment he was born until he reaches old age. In every step of the way, he awaits for the next step in his life – from the most ordinary to the most decisive one – an encounter, a departure for war, a letter in the mail, a birth, a recovery from illness etc.
Similarly, in every step of the story, he awaits for the reader to hand him the thread that allows the story to continue.
This ebook allows children to identify with the young man met in the beginning, and follow his journey into adulthood and old age, and hence put life events into perspective, all the while admiring the poetics of day-to-day life through simple but expressive black pencil strokes.
