“Boum!” is a wordless narrative which uses a very simple horizontal scroll to present the linear story of a man whose routine stroll to work is altered by a snowfall that makes him lose his way and transforms his day into a surreal journey. The story is beautifully rendered in a series of scenes in which the graphic design and the soundtrack become the true protagonists of the tale: an ode to the universal need for friendship and fantasy. “Boum!” combines music, paintings, and interaction to create a delightful experience for all ages. It received a special mention of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair (fiction) in 2016 and was the Editor’s Choice of the Children’s Technology Review supported by CNL, Salon du Livre de Jeunesse de Montreuil.
