Biographical note
Beatrice Alemagna is an author and illustrator of children’s books. She is the winner of numerous awards, including the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Award.'Pepper & Me is a simple story, but is also a secret door to what days and weeks feel like when you are small. Beatrice Alemagna has the key, and we’re so lucky that she does' - Jon Klassen
'If I had to choose my favorite illustrator it would be Beatrice Alemagna. Her images have a dreamlike atmosphere that are unlike anything else' - Chris Haughton
'A beautiful and subtle celebration of the everydayness of our magical bodies' - Julie Morstad
In this utterly enchanting and unexpected tale from international picture book star Beatrice Alemagna, a childhood mishap is the occasion for growth and self-reflection.
When a little girl falls on the street, scraping her knee, her father tells her not to worry, that 'a beautiful scab will form'. But she does worry! The scab is not beautiful and it's keeping her from bending her knee! When will it ever go away? By the time the scab - who she has named Pepper - falls off, something astonishing has happened: the girl has come to feel affection for the scab and has a hard time letting go.
With an unerring understanding of a child’s emotional life and a dash of absurdist wit, this picture book will stand with classics from creators like Tomi Ungerer and William Steig, who explore the weird, funny essence of childhood.
