"Josephine & me" Book2023“I am a cat, a big cat.They call me Chiquita.Maybe because I'm a cheetah. Maybe not.It was never explained to me why."

It was at this time that she was offered Chiquita, a cheetah who would at once scandalize, terrorize and fascinate those around her, while a fierce complicity was woven between the woman and the feline.”Texts: Emmanuelle Grundmann / Illustrations: Maguelone du Fou
