In Eloise’s Summer, a nine-year-old girl discovers the world of her curly hair and Cameroonian roots. Eloise is mixed: her mom is Belgian and her dad is from Cameroon. Though her hair can sometimes be challenging and even painful, she learns to love it and explores the endless possibilities of her hair. She captures her summer adventure in a self-drawn book.

Chica

In a rural region of Brazil, a family raises and sells chickens to make a living. Their mother sends Dadá and Tato to deliver one from their coop to Seu Vicente’s restaurant, where the pot awaits as its final destination. Along the way, a special bond begins to form between Chica, the chicken, and Tato.

A Dog’s Life

When grandma’s dog dies, granddaughter Luna helps with the burial. But what happens when you’re dead and buried underground? Grandma evades the answer, so Luna is tempted to see for herself what’s going on down there.

I’d love to see you

Four children guide us from the entrance to the visiting room of a prison — a place they go twice a week to see their mom or dad. Prisons aren’t built with children in mind, yet in Belgium, over 16,000 kids have a parent behind bars. I’d love to see you gives a voice to the children of prisoners and shows how they end up in a situation they never chose.
