Agnès Ernoult/Roi Kipu

Agnès Ernoult's recently published children's book has made it to the top 40 on the independent book-sellers list in France. 'Roi Kipu', which translates to 'King Smelly', is a book published by Editions Margot and written by Bernard Villiot.

The book follows the story of a King with a ridiculous name who actually doesn't smell bad at all, but because of his name, he struggles to find a partner to marry.

It's a heartwarming story about self-acceptance, tolerance, and the importance of laughing at oneself, with Agnès' humorous and characterful drawings connecting the reader with the King's journey.

Juliette Toma for Rebel Girls Rock: 25 Tales of Women in Music.

Icelandic sensation Bjork is illustrated by Juliette Toma for Rebel Girls Rock: 25 Tales of Women in Music.

The new and popular Rebel Girl's series now has the addition of a book on musical icons; inspirational women who have achieved success in this alluring industry, as a singer, songwriter or instrumentalist.

Juliette's portrait of Bjork is an electrifying illustration, with a spot-on likeness and animated composition.

The publisher says, Belt out pop anthems with Lizzo, bang on the drums with Nandi Bushell, and write country hits with Dolly Parton. The women in this book come from all around the world. They play different instruments, experiment with new sounds, and stand out in their genres. But one thing is true of them all: They rock!
