Baleinoïde, by Baptiste Gaillard and illustrated by Sylvie Mermoud & Pierre Bonard

“The whale’s body is elusive, a ghost, a fantasy, a life hidden in its own vibrations. It is an instrument in every cavity.”

Featured in numerous children’s books, the whale fascinates us today as much as it once frightened us. Baleinoïde is an indirect portrait of this imposing marine mammal, approached sensitively through air movements, sound propagation, and impressions left behind after a fleeting appearance.
