Have a good journey, little drop
Anne CRAUSAZ
The cat left me alone at the bottom of its bowl. So I decided to set off.
This is the story of a drop of water, carried along by wind, sun, and heat, transforming in turn into vapor, a snowflake, and a droplet. During her adventure, she explores the sea, the mountains, and the depths of the earth, meeting animals and plants along the way.
A true journey of discovery that gently and poetically introduces the water cycle. A book to place in every curious pair of hands.
Highlights
- A tactile exploration of the different forms of water
- A playful introduction to the concepts of “tangible” and “intangible”
- Original and varied textures
- Colored Braille and double line spacing

This is the story of a drop of water, carried along by the wind, the sun, and the warmth, transforming in turn into vapor, a snowflake, and a droplet as it discovers the sea, the mountains, and the plains. A journey of discovery during which it encounters animals and plants, before finally coming to rest on a curious stone that may feel strangely familiar…

Anne Crausaz is a Swiss author and illustrator trained at ECAL in Lausanne. Inspired by Enzo Mari, Bruno Munari, and Étienne Delessert, she has developed a distinctive style characterized by strong contrasts and a dynamic interplay of negative and positive space. After a residency in Poland, where she discovered the art of poster design, she published her first picture book, Raymond Dreams, with MeMo in 2007, which met with great success. Since then, she has created around fifteen books and games centered on themes of nature, the seasons, and life cycles, working primarily in Illustrator with a sensitive and poetic graphic approach.
Anne Crausaz met twice with the tactile design team at Les Doigts Qui Rêvent regarding the tactile adaptation of her book Have a Good Journey, Little Drop. The first meeting focused on the adaptation sketches, and the second on the first tactile prototype. These exchanges allowed everyone to share their working methods. Anne explained what she wanted to convey through her visuals, particularly the importance of the snail as a reference to Raymond Dreams. The Les Doigts Qui Rêvent team also discussed practical constraints, including the need to combine pages to prevent the tactile book from becoming too bulky. These conversations helped validate certain choices and led to adjustments in systems and materials to create a more essential, focused result.
