Books with author Joëlle Jolivet

This beach on the South Indian coast is full of activity. By day you can see fishermen bring in the catch, women selling fish, people and animals going about their business... but then, when the sun starts to set, the beach becomes a different place – now it’s time for everyone to play, talk, sit around, eat and have fun... until the fisherfolk go to sleep, and all the others go home. French artist Joëlle Jolivet takes you through a day – and night – on an Indian beach. Have fun exploring, colouring, and adding to this never-ending book surrounded by the sea!
