You know him, even if you don’t know him—his illustrations all have his signature immersive, dynamic energy, that recall the style of
Richard Scarry, by way of Paris. We all fell in love with Benjamin Chaud with his gorgeous, kinetic picture book, The Bear’s Song, a
Notable Children’s Book selection of 2013 from the New York Times. Already a children’s literature sensation in his native France,
Mssr. Chaud is bounding onto the American scene with an emerging list of loveable picture books.
