Les Éditions Grains de Sel is a publishing house with a singular journey. We started to publish Georges, an innovative bookzine for kids. Next came the adventure of our first picture books and comics. Our books and magazines share a common approach, both ambitious and playful, and an elegant but dynamic graphic design. Georges, that’s also an unconventional tone and a happy and joyful world. We are fascinated by contemporary illustration, by design, by typography, and we are working on every project with the greatest care. More than anything we believe in the natural curiosity of children. That’s why we offer them new aesthetic and editorial horizons.

In the aftermath of Georges, we have published our first picture books. They are the results of wonderful encounters with talented authors and illustrators of Georges. We wanted to go further with them! Our first comics, activity books and picture books combine strong personal illustrative universes and sensitive stories. They invite children and adults to share a similar sense of curiosity, and a similar reading pleasure.

Panpi & Gorri • 2012 • 52 pages - 2O x 25 cm - HARD COVER • 12,50 €
Panpi & Gorri are cousins, and they spend their whole time together. They keep inventing intrepid
adventures. Alternately acrobats, private detectives, or explorers... Let’s follow these specialists of «home made adventures»! The picture book gathers long stories (4 pages), or short ones (strips or one picture gags). Here are two humorous characters, in a very vivid and delicate drawing. The 2d book of the series will be published in 2015.

The Day When the Elephant • 2013 • 36 pages - 24 x 31 cm - HARD COVER • 16,50 €
Anna lives in Wuppertal, a city where a spectacular suspended monorail runs. One evening, during dinner, she hears at the radio that Tuffi, the elephant from the circus had been embarked on the train to announce the show… The elephant apparently did not enjoy the ride - he trumpeted wildly and ran through the wagon, broke through a window and fell down into the river below.
Anna decides to accompany Tuffi to the boat that will bring him back at home. This picture book is inspired by a true story that happened in 1950 at Wuppertal in Germany

Nothing at All • 2014 • 40 pages - 18,5 x 25 cm - HARD COVER • 16 €
« At the beginning, there was nothing.
Nothing at all. Of course, yes, there was a couple of trees, but it was almost nothing. Birds perched in trees, a fox, a few rabbits... But nothing more. When Mr C. arrived, he thought that this was not enough. He thought there was nothing at all. » So Mr C. decided to add a street, and then a block of buildings, some groceries shops, a casino and some advertising signs…until the final power failure! “Nothing” or “everything” is a question of point of view in this clever story, built around the recurring word of “nothing”. Is the nature surrounding us everything or nothing? A high quality picture book and a text close to a song, to view the world from a higher perspective.
