The series
At a glance.
Two early-reader picture books about Pascaline, a small girl with a small voice and big feelings. Never, Not Ever! (2021) handles separation anxiety on the first day of school; Best Thing Ever! (2024) handles small daily joys. The art is Alemagna at her most accessible, bright, painted, full of expressive child-figures. Sweet without being saccharine; emotionally precise without being heavy.
