Abstract

In this article, I discuss how Belgian author/illustrator Anne Herbauts (2010) playfully and poetically spatialises the passage of time in Monday, a picture book for younger readers, taking my cue from Deleuzian theory to suggest how the picture book approximates a rhizomatic map, always folding and unfolding, evoking the book’s central themes of presence, absence, movement, and possibility (Deleuzeand Guattari, 1980/1987).
