SHEEP
Mouton - Zeina Abirached - 19.2x 22 cm - 32 pages - €12.90
​
Sheep is an adaptation of an animated short film produced at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs (decorative arts school) in Paris and selected at numerous international film festivals. What child has never struggled with a bad hair day or suffered at the hands of a sadistic hairdresser?
With a touch of humour and tenderness, Zeina Abirached describes her ongoing battle, from a very young age, to tame the exuberant curly mass framing her face.
The ordeals of hair washing, brushing, clumsy hairdresser scissors… Ribbons, turbans, hats: the little girl tries anything to make that dreadful sheep camping out on her head a little more discreet!
