Endless Afternoons

An ode to the endless afternoons of childhood, when boredom can offer a portal into another world. As a kid growing up in Burundi, Gaël was lucky enough to get bored.He didn’t have school in the afternoons, and his family didn’t have a computer or a television.So he had to learn to use his imagination to invent games and ways to pass the time: a mess of furniture in the living room became a jungle for his superheroes to brave; bananas leaves transformed into sailing ships.With a poetic text from acclaimed Rwandan-French author, hip-hop artist, and musician Gaël Faye and featuring lush illustrations by award-winning illustrator Hippolyte comes Endless Afternoons, a journey into the magical world of a boring summer afternoon.
