Edith is a little girl who is different from the others. At her birth she received two gifts: the gift of bringing objetcts to life, and another one, wich turns out to be a curse: the Eternal Childhood. By the time she turns hundred, she lives with her dog and a cute little lemon to whom she gave life. The little lemon is going to help her realize her dream: to get rid of that curse. To grow up, make friends, maybe someday become a mother and even to grow old and yes, eventually die one day.
This album is an ode to life. Life that is imperfect at best. The life we cherish like a slightly clumsy drawing, because they are often the most beautiful.
Wrtiien in Frech and Dutch, my two languages. It will also be released in German, by Moritz Verlag
and in The Netherlands by Querido.
