Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who had everything but was nothing much. Thus could have begun the biting fable written by Zidrou and illustrated by Sébastien Chebret. Across the pages, on a deep blue sea stretching as far as the eye can see, two fishermen live side by side, Who-has-nothing and Who-has-everything. The former struggles to catch enough to eat from his boat. On the other hand, the latter lives in opulence aboard his ship. Who-has-everything’s selfishness manifests through daily pettiness that gradually reaches a climax. As a storm threatens to overturn Who-has-nothing’s boat, Who-has-everything once again refuses to come to his aid…
A straightforward and effective album urging the younger generation not to tolerate persistent inequalities.
