Endless Afternoons

By Gaël Faye

An ode to the endless afternoons of childhood, when boredom can offer a portal into another world.

As a kid growing up in Burundi, Ga l was lucky enough to get bored. He didn't have school in the afternoons, and his family didn't have a computer or a television. So he had to learn to use his imagination to invent games and ways to pass the time: a mess of furniture in the living room became a jungle for his superheroes to brave; bananas leaves transformed into sailing ships. With a poetic text from acclaimed Rwandan-French author, hip-hop artist, and musician Ga l Faye and featuring lush illustrations by award-winning illustrator Hippolyte comes Endless Afternoons, a journey into the magical world of a boring summer afternoon.
