A Baby for Gudule by Fanny Joly and Roser Capdevila French to English translation: Anna Griffiths and Natalie Worden Fanny Joly Numérik


A Baby for Gudule
My name is Gudule. I have a pencil case full of marbles and shiny patent shoes. My mommy often makes me pancakes. My daddy takes me to the movie theatre. Everything in my life was going just great…
But one day, at the swimming pool, I noticed that Mommy’s tummy was round. Like she had swallowed a small balloon!
That evening, my parents told me that we were having a baby…
A baby? What a funny idea! We are going to have a baby? But who is WE? Is it me, too? They could have asked me for my opinion… I never said that I wanted a baby!
I talked about it at school. Well, it’s not good news! Ben told me that babies cry all the time, and so loudly that even if you stuff your ears with putty, you can still hear them! He said that when his little sister is asleep, no one is allowed to make any noise. But she doesn’t mind waking everyone up in the middle of the night!
Mary-Ann told me that babies don’t understand a thing we say. When you hold a piece of candy in front of them, they don’t even know how to grab it. And you know what else? They are always throwing up!
