3rd Prize 2009 (ex aequo)

Le ventre aquarium (The Aquarium Belly) - Laure Constantin - France

The subject of pregnancy is unusual. The text is beautiful and touching. It would be necessary to reduce the number of pages, to improve the finish of the tactile illustrations and to add more volume to them (mother’s tummy). Images should either remain in the imagination or represent reality.

Le sujet de la grossesse sort de l’ordinaire. Le texte est magnifique et touchant. Il serait nécessaire de réduire le nombre de pages , d’améliorer la finition des illustrations tactiles et y apporter plus de volume (ventre de la maman). Les images devraient rester soit dans l’imaginaire soit représenter la réalité.
