Quand je serai très très vieux...

A child who imagines himself to be old, very old, so that he can finally do whatever he wants, defy all prohibitions, experience the feeling of impunity enjoyed by old men, protected by their venerable age, their position of authority - or so he thinks... Yes, rejoice in being old to experience absolute freedom: this inner monologue, which Olivier Ka places from the perspective of a boy impatient to crunch the world, expresses with jubilant audacity the urgency of making a place for oneself, of sweeping aside the obstacles (especially those represented by "the others") that one sees springing up from all sides when one is the little man. The expressiveness and precision of the ballpoint pen in Carole Chaix's drawings accentuate the strength with which the child projects himself into situations that are as real to him as the surrounding world.

"Quand je serai très très vieux..." is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
