Rosa Parks (in French only)

By , illustrated by Marta Antelo , translated by Françoise Major

As a child, Rosa Parks was already sensitive to the injustices of which Blacks were victims in the southern United States. While white people took the bus to go to their big school, she had to walk miles to get to her tiny one. This calm but determined woman made herself famous by refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the bus, as the law of the time required. Her gesture served as the trigger for a large-scale movement: the Montgomery bus boycott. Rosa Parks is an important figure in the fight against racial segregation in public places.
Carried by colourful and lively illustrations, the album From Little to Big : Rosa Parks makes it possible to address important and necessary themes such as equal rights and self-respect.

    Stephen Hawking was not an exceptional student, but he was very curious. As a child, he already asked himself many questions about the origin of the Universe. Growing up, Stephen made important discoveries in astrophysics, even though he was suffering from a serious illness that paralyzed his entire body. Thanks to him, we now know more about these mysterious celestial objects found in space that astronomers call black holes.

    Rudolf Noureev (in French only)

    By  , illustrated by Eleonora Arosio

    Rudolf never stopped at what was expected of him as a boy. He fell in love with dancing when he was seven years old. It was not until much later, however, that he managed to enter a ballet school. He had to make up for lost time and refine his technique to compete with other dancers. His talent was so great that it did not prevent him from becoming one of the best dancers in history.

    By , illustrated by Magali Le Huche

    A bunch of happy children live freely in the forest. They eat fruit, play with animals and learn to read on the wrappers left behind by careless adults. Sure, they never take a bath, which earns them their name, but they're happy and having a blast. Which does not please Yvonne Carré, the director of the orphanage at all. This woman obsessed with order and hygiene has only one idea in mind: to wash these disgusting little ones in the machine she invented and lock them up within the four walls of her deserted institution. Luckily Fanette Ducoup, the leader of the group, keeps an eye on the hygiene-obsessed director...

    When the wind blows

    Text & illustrations: Todd Stewart

    In a forest, an old pine sees another grow alongside it. The eldest explains to the youngest how the wind can help them to live, to grow, but also how it can harm them at times. Gradually, the young conifer gains confidence and becomes aware of its own destiny. With this conversation of a philosophical nature that spans years, maybe even decades, Todd Stewart offers us a story about the passage of time. It evokes the joys, the sorrows and the cycle of life while offering us a poetic point of view on it.

    It's good! It's horrible! (in French only)

    Text: Joan M. Lexau, illustrations: Aliki

    Walking peacefully in the jungle is good! To come face to face with a rhinoceros is terrible! Hiding in a tree to escape the beast is good!
    At least, that's what Java the tiger believes, captivated by the story of young Sanji.

    The original edition of this album appeared in 1963 in the Weekly Reader Children's Book Club collection, with the American publisher The Dial Press. The album has been out of print for over 50 years.

     

    It is being republished for the first time in French by Le Lièvre de Mars. The illustrator, Aliki, says that the challenge of this story was to find a way to present the face-to-face between the boy and the tiger as simply as possible, while illustrating the action of the chase in the background.
