Ready! Soft and wrinkled, the brain is protected by the skull. Tirelessly, even during sleep, it keeps the lungs working, the memory functioning, and allows us to smell odors... thanks to the network of neurons. Connected to each other, to muscles, and to organs throughout the body, they process and transmit information by passing through the spinal cord. How? Through an electrical signal!

Irreplaceable, the brain is our greatest asset! Without it, we couldn't do anything, learn anything... So, are you ready to learn everything about how it works?

Inhale, exhale, it's natural! We breathe without even paying attention... Yet, our whole body is in motion!

First, oxygen enters through our nose, where it's filtered by tiny little hairs. Then, the air travels down the trachea, into the bronchi, bronchioles, and finally the alveoli... What a journey! These alveoli pass the oxygen into the blood... And off it goes, through the pipes! Well... into the arteries.

Once the cells have used up the oxygen, they release carbon dioxide... Turnaround! This gas follows the same path but in reverse!

And who ensures blood circulation? The heart, of course! Tireless, it never stops... The atria receive the blood, the ventricles send it out... and all in rhythm!

Muscles, bones, and the brain. Three vital elements to blink, nod, walk, or run. The brain gives the orders, the muscles activate the bones that make the skeleton. So, what's the use of the skeleton? It's the body's frame, it's the one allowing humans to stand, for example. Over time, the skeleton evolved with the brain to meet its needs. Therefore, humans and monkeys are the only ones owing a thumb that allows them to catch stuff and use tools! And how does the skeleton move? Thanks to the joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles!

An original and rarely covered topic for young audiences.

It provides keys to staying healthy and better understanding our emotions and low moments.

A simple and accessible approach to how the human body works. Just like in nature, energy circulates in our bodies. Each meridian is connected to an organ, supplying it with energy.

The interactions between the text and illustrations create a dynamic discovery, spark curiosity, and offer a new perspective on our bodies.

Eyes to see, ears to hear, a tongue to taste, a nose to smell, a skin to touch... Our body has a network of captors associated with each sense. They allow us to discover and adapt to our environment! Useful, no? But, how do they work? What phenomenons are at stake? What's the common trait between all our senses?

The question of birth is fundamental for children!

It all starts in the mother’s belly, though not quite entirely... If there is an egg in the mother’s belly, it’s because two reproductive cells, a sperm and an egg, have fused. That’s fertilization!

After that, the egg grows, becoming an embryo and then a fetus. The organs and limbs form and develop, getting ready for the big day. And what happens when mom goes to the maternity ward?

From the very first bite, digestion begins. Food travels nearly 9 meters inside our body over the course of 10 to 24 hours!

First step, the mouth: the teeth cut and grind the food; saliva helps with chewing and starts digestion; the food is reduced to a mush called the bolus. Then, it heads to the stomach!

Second step, the bolus is kneaded and crushed. It turns into a liquid mush called chyme.

Third step, the intestine: along the way, the liver sends bile and the pancreas releases enzymes. The chyme is then transformed into nutrients: fats, sugars, and proteins!

But the journey isn't over yet...
