Included in the USBBY’s 2010 list of Outstanding International Books.

 

'Challenging the traditional notion of what a picture book is and who it is for is this stark, poignant book ... [which] boldly explores the futility of war.' The Sunday Age

'Impressive ... the award-winning team of Cali and Bloch seems set for further recognition ... Highly recommended.' Magpies

This is the year's most extraordinary illustrated book. Already a major hit in France, The Enemy is a profound, moving and poignant fable for our time about two lonely soldiers facing each other across a barren desert battlefield. Are they the only soldiers left? How can they end the war? Just who is the enemy?

Created by Davide Cali and Serge Bloch, the award-winning team behind I Can't Wait (winner of France's prestigious Baobab Award, and Honour Book in the American Library Association's Batchelder Award) and I Love Kissing You. This Wilkins Farago edition marks its first publication into English anywhere in the world. For readers aged from 7 to 77.
