Unlike those who usually inhabit tales of children's books, this one had only one magic, unique in its kind: he could turn the glow of life into a gem!

Author’s Information

Yuzuko Hoshimi uses here the codes of the children's book tale and its graphic style to tackle much more mature subjects over four fully colored stories, sweet yet bitter. Story to story, she shows the radiance of life springing from anywhere, even the darkest darkness. Sometimes cruel, often tragic, each of them nonetheless exudes tenderness, but also love for their neighbor.
