The Remarkables

The Remarkables Synopsis

A large-format treasure trove from the creator of international bestseller Inside the Villains, featuring portraits of 38 extraordinary imaginary children with descriptions of each one's superpower.

Meet the most extraordinary children you'll ever see--or might ever see . . . An electric child, a flying child, a stone child, an invisible child, a thunder child, a cake child--what superpower would you wish for?

On each spread, the children describe their characteristics, tell anecdotes, and present the superpowers that makes them unique. A "class photo" brings the children together at the end, alongside a quiz for the reader to find out their own superpower. Picture book and comics combine in a big book full of fantasy, poetry, humor, and a real look at emotions and personalities.

Through Clotilde Perrin's unique imagination, this encyclopedia celebrates the peculiar and the individual, strengths and differences, allowing every reader to explore what miraculous superpower they would wish for--or might already have. Known for her remarkable lift-the-flap explorations of fairytale stories, Clotilde Perrin here turns the lens of her original mind onto her child readers, showing each one how they too can be heroes.

Celebrates inclusivity: the odd and unusual, the specialness of individuals and explores themes of emotions, personalities, difference and imagination.
