THE GREAT ANTONIO (FRENCH ONLY)

Le Grand Antonio, written and illustrated by Élise Gravel, pays tribute to Antonio Barichievich, a legendary Montreal strongman capable of superhuman feats, such as pulling crowded buses with nothing but his hair or taking on Japanese champions. The book combines absurd humor, sensitivity, and dynamic graphics, offering children a real and endearing hero figure while evoking human fragility. Élise Gravel's unique visual style, blending lively lettering and retro colors, adds emotional depth to the story.
