Considérés comme les « Oscars » de la bande dessinée, les Eisner Awards récompensent chaque année des auteurs pour des œuvres parues l’année précédente aux États-Unis. Ils sont décernés par des professionnels de la bande dessinée américaine et sont remis lors du festival Comic-Con de San Diego, en Californie. Ils rendent hommage au célèbre auteur américain Will Eisner (1917-2005), créateur du justicier masqué Le Spirit et auteur de nombreux ouvrages illustrant la vie à New York au XXe siècle.

Les droits de langue française sont encore disponibles, hormis pour les titres FANGS et KENT STATE.

LION NEEDS A SHOT de Hyewon Yum

A lion family navigates their fears of going to the doctor in this adorable, hilariously relatable companion to Lion Needs a Haircut.

LION NEEDS A SHOT
by Hyewon Yum
Abrams Books for Young Readers, May 2022

Little lion Luka is NOT worried about a visit to the doctor. He’s NOT scared of getting a shot. And he’s definitely NOT a little lion anymore. R-O-A-R! His younger sister, Lulu, might be nervous for her first checkup—but no need to worry, big brother is here to set a brave example. Step by step, he walks her through what will happen, offering encouragement and holding her hand. But when it’s his turn, on second thought, maybe he doesn’t need to see Dr. Brown today; he’s feeling perfectly fine, after all…
This witty, tender story follows two siblings sharing a universal experience together, giving each other courage and realizing that a trip to the doctor’s office isn’t so bad.

Hyewon Yum is the author and illustrator of Lion Needs a Haircut; Grandpa Across the Ocean; Last Night, a Fiction Honorable Mention for the Bologna Ragazzi Award and winner of the Golden Kite Award; There Are No Scary Wolves, winner of the Society of illustrators’ Founder’s Award; The Twins’ Blanket, a Junior Library Guild selection; Mom, It’s My First Day of Kindergarten!, which won the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award and was selected as a Kirkus Best Book of the Year; and Saturday is Swimming Day, which earned her a Charlotte Zolotow Honor. Yum lives in Brooklyn, New York.

He includes sections as deep as how to transform grief into power, and as practical as how to set goals and articulate intentions through daily affirmations. Weaving his story throughout, Jones lets readers in on his own creative process, as well as the importance of letting honesty, hard work, and good relationships drive your career.

Quincy Jones is an American record producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, arranger, and living legend.

by Katrina Rodabaugh
Abrams, April 2021

Woven throughout are stories, essays, and a slow fashion call-to-action, encouraging readers to get involved or deepen their commitment to changing the destructive habit of overconsumption.

Katrina Rodabaugh is an award-winning artist and writer working across disciplines to explore environmental and social issues through craft techniques. Her writing and work have appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Martha Stewart Living, Mother Earth Living, Sewing Magazine, Sunset magazine, Sweet Paul Magazine, Taproot magazine, and more.

A COOKBOOK FOR MILLENALS de Caleb Couturie, illustré par Benj Zeller

Look, your parents can’t cook for you forever and you can’t have every meal delivered!

A COOKBOOK FOR MILLENALS:
And Literally Anyone Else but IDK If the Jokes Will Make Sense Sorry 🙁
by Caleb Couturie
illustrated by Benj Zeller
Cameron Books/Abrams, August 2021

Is avocado toast your primary food group? Do you own a small family of succulents? Do you suck at cooking but thrive at brunch? Well, you might be a millennial who would enjoy this cookbook. You might not even be a millennial! That’s okay. You’ll get more than 30 delicious recipes that anyone can easily conquer. Buy now! Or don’t. No pressure.

Caleb Couturie developed a love for cooking at a young age. Once he overcame his fear of bacon grease, it was only uphill from there. He was trained in the kitchen by world-famous chefs (on YouTube, but let’s not split hairs), and his culinary taste can be described as “bold, creative, and probably excessive.” When he’s not exploring his body’s limitations with dairy, Couturie works as a copywriter in advertising. Just think of Jon Hamm in Mad Men, but less successful, talented, and handsome.
Benj Zeller is lactose intolerant but will risk it all for a slice of Costco pizza. He’s also a big fan of bad ideas when it comes to food, and his dream is to someday eat spicy wings on Hot Ones. (Not for the fame, just for the thrills.) When he’s not putting his digestive system through hell, he works as an art director and designer in Portland, Oregon.
