Same-sex couples haven't always been accepted in our society, but it is possible for love and beauty to triumph. Two boys are friends and age gracefully together as a same-sex couple. With this story, Acadian singer-songwriter Michel Thériault adds a string to his bow and illustrator Magali Ben dazzles with exceptional colours.

Michel Thériault is an author, musician and composer living in Moncton, New-Brunswick. His work, infused with a tender humour, is inspired by humanity's shortcomings and injustices and the twists of everyday life. As an iconoclast, he calls himself "a pop-mustard singer", and his guitar has travelled from Québec to France, and from Belgium to Switzerland. In 2016, he won the famous Éloïzes Award for Musical Artist of the Year. The text from Ils Sont... is originally a song called "Roger et Mathieu", in the CD "Drôle d'oiseau".

A self-taught illustrator, Magali Ben's main source of inspiration is nature and all that surrounds it. Magali nurtures her work with beauty she finds in the world, with words, with films, paintings, photos and emotions. She counts herself lucky to be able to interact with a world where anything is possible: the world of imagination. Un petit bonheur tout rond is the third album she illustrates for Bouton d?or Acadie.
