ベビーブーム

Baby boom is a collection of stories animated by two recurring characters, a "bird" (the black-headed animal under the mask of which the author likes to imagine himself) and a "chick", engaged, in pairs or in a group, in all kinds of activities specific to childhood: hoops, cubes, swimming, folding, drawing, snacks, constructions, sandboxes, jumping in puddles... Using two colors of felt-tip pens, Yokoyama has left his drawings with the freshness of sketches. By their (apparent) speed of execution, by their colored contrasts, his boards are in this way the obvious and communicative extension of the frenzied joy of the bird, the chick and their playmates.
