Love this book, both for the story - intrepid girl searching for a present for her mum - and the illustrations, which are I think pastels, very delicate but strong if that makes sense. And every spread has loads of small details tucked away in the corners, so you read it once for the plot, then go back many times to find the little extras.
And it's translated from the French, so the pics are all of a small French town, with French shops, for another discussion.
