The picture book is an exercise

Guillaume Long brings us, with the
humor that characterizes him, to meet
tiny thingies.
The whole can be likened to a gallery
of improbable portraits, populated
by a greedy fly, a scared green pea,
a forlorn electronic chip, a flying drop
of water and other Lilliputian worm…
