The Collector is a children's book written by Emmanuèle Pétry-Sirvin and illustrated by Lucile Placin , intended for children aged 5 and up.
Ever since she was little, Tanaquil has collected absolutely everything: cuddly toys, plushies, moss, lichen, stickers, perfume, teapots, guitars… Her life is filled with accumulated objects, to the point that there's no room left for anything else. But when the unexpected knocks on her door, Tanaquil will have to learn to welcome what she wasn't expecting.
With its luminous illustrations combining digital techniques, collages and painting , this album invites children to reflect on the place of objects, attachment, openness to novelty and to others.
