A little moment of everyday life captured on film, Mon chien-banane is a jewel of absurdity that will make children and adults laugh. This is Roxane Brouillard's first album with this hilarious situation comedy. Giulia Sagramola provides the illustrations for this album with her old-fashioned charming characters, evoking the great culture of American strips. With her minimalist and punchy approach, she brilliantly brings to life this cast of characters that we have all met at least once in our lives.

This album won second place in the Grand prix du livre de la Montérégie 2019. It was also a finalist for the Jeunesse des Bibliothèques de Montreal 2021' Prize, for the Peuplier 2021' Prize and for the Cécile Gagnon 2021' Prize.

Finally, a book that should help all parents who struggle with their children brushing their teeth! So we start with the toothbrush:

"If I stopped brushing my teeth, I wouldn't wear out my toothbrush anymore."...the brush hairs would start to grow, they would have to be mowed, and as a result, sweaters could be made with them. But with such a toothbrush sweater, everyone would want the same one.

Everybody would look the same, and then I could be taken for the President of the Republic etc...

Once upon a time there was a little Bou who lived in the forest with her maïe and her païe. One day she went camping in the forest to gather flora.

This book is deliberately written in a French that is not grammatically correct.

Raoul is a terror, he doesn't like anyone. But on the other hand, does anyone love him?

With Nuts, follow the adventures of a mischievous little squirrel!

It's not easy being an entropic elf. Every day, you have to let food rot, make holes in the socks, stain the couch with hot chocolate, and fill the newspaper with types. All of that, without being seen by humans!

Two friends are looking for something sweet to have the courage to clean their house. But, in life, we don't always have what we want. What do we do when the oven eats the cakes and when we mistake snail-lovers for cinnamon rolls?

"I met a snail that was biking, an ox that was brooding..." The protagonist of this story has a fertile imagination and gives us a catalog of excuses to explain to his dad why he's late.

Molly lives alone in an old house, like the ones we see in horror movies. One night, she comes face to face with a ghost...

But the story is only beginning!

Who said kittens don't have teen angst? When Superminouche slams her home's door, she can't imagine what's waiting for her... Thankfully, Gérard is there to limit the damage!

Jonatan does not have three legs, only two. He doesn't have three eyes, only two. He doesn't have three mouths, just one. He doesn't have only three toys, hundreds even. And, he can also say more than three words. So, nothing goes by three? Yes! Jonatan is three years old, and there's only one like him!

What's the similarity between Parmesan, Prehistory, and winter sports? None! Except for being part of the various themes talked about in this volume of 24 illustrated poems. Striking, modern, and with a touch of absurd, these poems will make young readers smile as much as the grown-ups!

Nonsense. Ah, it's better. Nonsense. Ah, much better! It's nonsense. But in the end, I like it a lot. A succession of eccentric moments that we put back in place. At last, when it's nonsense, wouldn't it be best?

Children are funny little critters! Amandine Piu demonstrates it in a fun, tender way, full of poetry.

The clouds become rain, which becomes a river, the egg becomes a hen which lays another egg... The world is transforming all the time, and it's fascinating to observe! Here is the beginning of this book, full of humor and intelligence to talk with children about change, and transformation through observing what's around us. The tree and table, the hen and egg, water, and its cycle are all witnesses of this essential principle of life.

The objects of our everyday life are becoming poetry, they transform and make you dream. The Mirror shares his reflections, the Pencil looks well, the Tires are flexing, the Bags have a good heart and the Scisors don't cut off people. And, Parasol and Umbrella are covering Heaven's corners...

This lovely book humorously invites us to the great pleasure of tasting words, the pleasure of meaning, even double meanings, as well as the pleasure of sound. Because we all sometimes hear both what is said and what at first doesn't seem to be said, but we perceive it nonetheless, which is indeed present as long as we lend an ear and a heart. It is a play of wit, but it is similarly the innocence of childhood, the re/discovery of language, with its multiple pathways uniting words and reviving all syllables.

Noémie cannot sleep. She's counting sheep, yes, she's counting on them to fall asleep. Only, this night, one of them is missing. Then follows a mad research through the girl's room where each corner is inspected by the joyous band who will do everything to find their friend and get Noémie to sleep.

Avec légèreté, humour et tendresse, Christophe Jubien présente des textes particulièrement attachants. Sur la pointe des pieds il éclaire des moments de nos vies, parfois délicats, parfois tout simples et pourtant si heureux. Il y parvient sans effets spectaculaires ou grandiloquents. Bien au contraire, en portant une attention rare et douce à la feuille réchauffée dans la paume, à deux moineaux perchés sur un caddy, à la petite grenouille verte et au gros escargot applaudi par l’enfant.

In this wildly inspired book, it's not just humans and animals that go on a journey. Objects do the same, and houses, and trees, and seasons! Everything moves for the enchantment of the reader. Because nothing is impossible with the poetry and unbridled imagination of Béatrice Libert, her humor and tenderness. Kotimi magnificently illustrates each poem. What an invention in her images that capture the essence of words with a stroke, extend and transcend them. Her bold pencil work and play of materials also invite children to travel. At the end of this beautiful collection, we all feel like we can fly!
