X comme adoption
X comme adoption
A playmate tells Bianca that he doesn't want to play with her anymore because she is sick. She is "nésouzix"! Upset, the child confides in the teacher who, with the help of a pictorial alphabet book, explains to the children what it means to be born under X. Through a visual treasure hunt, in search of the letters of the alphabet, this book explains that if a child born under X does not know what blood flows in his veins, above all, he should not make it an illness! This album offers an original perspective on birth under X and adoption through a story that uses the letters of the alphabet, starting with this enigmatic X. It is rather well written, with a very interesting story. It is quite well written, with simplicity and highlighting positive words like Love, Gift, Hope, Family, Questions, Parents, etc. LivrJeun

Nappe comme neige
Nappe comme neige

In this book built around the theme of the alphabet, on the left-hand pages, each letter is associated with the image of an object: A for Aubergine, B for Bottle, etc.

But then - and this is the originality of this book - on the right-hand page each object is re-enacted or diverted, sometimes by becoming part of another object (the Aubergine becomes the foliage of the Tree; the Skittle becomes the Beaver's Tail, etc.), sometimes by transforming itself into another object (the Ham becomes the Mare's head and the Iris flower a Musical Instrument, and so on).

According to these same procedures, page after page the Eggs become Obuses, the Kiwi becomes a Kepi, Bread can become Fish and again, Chestnuts, Swimsuits, or Hot Air Balloons. What makes the analogy between the different objects associated with each letter of the alphabet is not only the same initial letter but rather the same shape.
