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.

    Little Blue and Little Yellow

    By Leo Lionni, translation by Adolphe Chagot

    Petit-Bleu lives at home with Papa-Bleu and Maman-Bleu. He has lots of friends, but his best friend is Petit-Jaune. Petit-Jaune lives just opposite with Papa-Jaune and Maman-Jaune. Petit-Bleu and Petit-Jaune are so happy to see each other again today that they kiss and become... all green! But will their parents recognize them? This book, published in 1970, very quickly became a classic of children's literature, both for its original graphic approach and for the depth of the subjects it covers, in particular friendship and difference.

    Who will reassure truffle?

    By Tove Jansson

    Once upon a time there was a little troll named Truffle. He lived alone in an isolated house. He was very fearful and, when night came, he turned on all the lamps and hid in his bed... One day, his road took him to the beach. A bottle is drifting in the sea. Could this be a call for help?

    Answers to 100 philosophical questions from children

    by Tomi Ungerer

    How do you tell someone you love them? How about making friends when you're shy? Why do we have favorite colors? Why is there money? In this compilation of chronicles published in Philosophie Magazine, Tomi Ungerer comments and illustrates his answers to one hundred great childhood questions, between philosophy and poetry:
    “Responding to children means putting yourself in their shoes. Explain using understandable adult vocabulary. Illustrated by examples drawn from reality, or drawn from the imagination. Demonstrate that everything is overcome with a smile and respect. And that thanks to the absurd, we are all sorcerer's apprentices. »

    By Tomi Ungerer

    It had arrived by post. It was the gift that her son, an explorer in Africa, sent to Madame Bodot for her birthday. That, a gift, a snake?
    Yes, because Crictor was no ordinary snake. Well cared for, well fed, well brought up, he became capable of prodigies. When he learned to read and count, he formed numbers and letters with his body. It was used as a game for children. But his greatest achievement was yet to come. Because a burglar haunted the streets of the small town...

    It was in the sixties, after The Adventures of the Mellops Family that Tomi Ungerer undertakes, in New York, a series of albums in honor of animals hitherto unloved or completely absent from children's books: a boa constrictor, Crictor; an octopus, Emile; a bat, Rufus; a vulture, Orlando and a kangaroo, Adelaide. They belie their reputations, embody goodness, save lives, and prove to be more human than those who first rejected them.

    What living on your nose? (in French)

    Text and illustrations: Christian Borstlap

     

    Germs are all around you. On your nose, on your face, on everything you touch! Some can also be found buried underground, while others prefer to live in boiling water. And rejoice, because they can do extraordinary things for us. In fact, did you know that our whole life depends on microbes? We are lucky to have them with us!

    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.
