Between games, boredom, and mischief, the little boy constructs his world while dealing with the absence of his mother, whom he has been told is in America meeting Buffalo Bill. This work by Emile Bravo and Jean Regnaud is a moving tale that explores innocence, the white lie, and emotional survival, offering a tender and authentic look at the memories that leave an indelible mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows Jean, a five-year-old boy living in France nearly four decades ago. His daily life unfolds amidst the musty scent of his home, the sweet flavors of childhood, and the mischief typical of his age. However, behind this apparent normality hides a void: his mother is not present. To protect him, the adults tell him a sugar-coated version of reality, telling him that his mother is in America and has met Buffalo Bill. Through panels full of color and sensitivity, the work portrays how Jean builds his own narrative to cope with the loss, while the characters around him write a story of resilience and affection alongside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChildhood and the construction of reality through innocence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eParental absence and unexpressed childhood grief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe white lie as a mechanism for emotional protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMemory and an autobiographical portrait of an era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNostalgia and the loss of the irretrievable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at adult and young adult readers interested in autobiographical and emotional graphic novels.
