Claude Ponti has said that the dreamlike world in his books ¿speaks of the inner life and emotions of childhood, so every child can put what he or she wants in the images: his or her own characters and dreams.¿ He has received many accolades for his work, including the Prix Sorcières and a nomination for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
