Les larmes de Carène is a poignant novella written by young Ivorian author Élodie YEBOUA and published by JD Éditions in the Lire pour se Construire collection.

The story follows two twelve-year-old girls, Carène and Djamila, who attend primary school in their native village of Koboko, where they are confronted with traditions that obstruct girls' education, including forced early marriage and restricted access to education. The novel, narrated by an omniscient narrator, explores the characters' psychological and spatial development and conveys themes of friendship, perseverance, responsibility, solidarity, resistance, and decision-making.
