Mathieu Poulin – författare

Bisous is the first volume in the Jumbo Jones series, and it sure knows how to set the tone. This out-of-the-ordinary short story book displays beautiful art illustrations associated with the literature.In this particular case, readers can judge the book by its cover. Fantasy, fiction, science, and reality are all present here. Readers get to explore different subjects in this fantastical tale, but most interestingly—and here is the kicker—they will feel like they are somehow part of the story.In the form of letters, readers capture an exchange between two different life forms. Jumbo writes to a nonhuman friend, and after giving him a short recap on where we stand today in our evolution as a human species, he respectfully asks for some advice. Unsurprisingly, the response sounds strange since its sense of reality is at a different level of existence. Inevitably, their level of consciousness take centre stage.This book is intentionally light, but it packs a serious punch way above its weight. Our imagination can bring us into areas we did not know existed. From this point onward, familiarity might never look the same.
