Their first time working together on an art project, Katia and Carolyne were accompanied by Carolyne’s eight-year-old granddaughter, Aria, to share a story told by their father, Raymond. Aria’s bold pencil strokes bring to life the characters of a louse and a flea, who go on an adventure in the fur of a young beaver called "Pouillaouin".
