Émilie Saitas
L'Arbre de Mon Père by Émilie Saitas is a diptych published in 2018 and 2020 by Cambourakis.
A family story, L'Arbre de Mon Père traces the childhood and adolescence of Kosta, her father, who is of Greek origin but was born in Egypt. Through his story, Émilie Saitas tells us that of the entire Egyptian community, with delicacy and subtlety from the first page to the last. The selection we've chosen for you is made up of lovely, original illustrations that reflect the emotion of both parts of this story.
