<p>A true sensory experience, this book invites us to discover the diversity and variability of rare diseases. Using a mixture of different visual art techniques, Lucie Albon’s artwork conveys the full complexity of rare diseases. As each rare disease has a unique impact on each patient, the images created by the artist speak to the viewer in their own unique way.<br/>Yet, in the same way that the 26 letters making up the alphabet form the basis of each word, the rare diseases form a community so that no one should ever feel alone.</p><p>ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR<br/>Pencils, a few pieces of paper cut-outs and a little ink...
