Now that his parents are separated, Ludo has two houses: one in the countryside, the other in the city. The boy doesn't really like going to his father's, where he has no friends, even though he loves the bustle of the city and is fascinated by traffic lights.
He is even convinced that a little gentleman is hiding in the traffic light, working night and day to regulate traffic. Listening only to his big heart, the little boy goes out into the night to try to reward this valiant worker in the shadows.
A tender and luminous text, highlighted by vibrant watercolors, which reminds us that empathy and generosity are wonderful tools to overcome one's pain.

Simone de Beauvoir (in French only)

By Marìa Sánchez Vegara, illustrated by Christine Roussey

When Simone was little, her father often told her that she had the brains of a man. She wondered what that could mean. After studying philosophy, she wrote a book to demonstrate that women are not inferior to men, but their equals. This important work, sold throughout the world, allowed her to be considered as the mother of feminism.

Rudolf Noureev (in French only)

By María Isabel Sánchez Vegara , 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.

Martin Luther King

By Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara , illustrated by Mai Ly Degan, translated by Françoise Major

Martin Luther King was raised in a family of pastors. One day, a friend invited him to play at his house, but the boy's mother refused to let Martin in because of the color of his skin. He then realized that something was wrong. He promised himself that, when he grew up, he would fight injustice, and that he would do so with the most formidable of weapons: words. Today, his name is associated with the birth of the great movement against racial segregation in the United States.

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. »

Critor

Regular price $9.95 Save $-9.95

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.

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.
