La petite épopée des pions, by Audren and Cédric Philippe / Polynia Series by Chloé Mary

Sasha lives in a beautiful rose wood box surrounded by other black and white Sashas. Sometimes The Hand takes him out for a breather and moves him a long a chess board, then It puts him away back inside carefully. Sasha, like all the other Sashas, knows that he must abide by the rules: once on his square he must obey. For sure the Giant-World exists in the distance, but aiming for it would mean taking chances, probably dying, and -most of all- turning his back on the best of worlds. One day, no nonetheless, Sasha decides to leave it all behind…
