ROUND CIRCLE
There’s a red circle. But if we look at it alongside the other red circles, it is different. Some of the circles are pale red and some are dark red, some are slightly oval and others are square and small; others are gigantic. All in all, there’s not one circle that’s the same as the others. But all these differences help the Earth go around. A book of minimal aesthetics, inviting younger les tout-petits, un livre d’éveil sensible et artistique, children to notice thePourdifferences between the ouvert sur le monde qui les entoure. nuances in shape and colour as well as to understand abstraction and learn from difference.

Each of these albums is adapted from the TV animation series of the same name. In each book, Reinette asks three new riddles where the reader has to discover which mysterious animal lurks behind the clues: • In Volume 1, the first animal has long hair covering its entire body, the second communicates by making faces and the third has eight long arms. • In Volume 2, the first animal has neither bone nor shell, the second has spots all over its body and the third is shaped like a potato and lives in the sea. The pictures contain madcap clues that help children guess the animal’s identity.

A small boy suddenly starts asking himself how he really feels about his birthday, February 29, a day absent from the calendar, a day that has been spirited away and disappeared! So if the day doesn’t exist, how can he exist? Does this mean he’ll grow up four times slower than everyone else? He’d feel so ashamed if he had to remain a baby all his life. Fortunately, Archibald is there, standing behind his counter downstairs, to help explain everything. It can be very difficult for a child to understand when some children only have a birthday once every four years, while dogs have seven a year!

Taloula curses her ill-fortune in life: anti-conformist parents who work in a circus couldn’t care a jot for her good marks; her brother is a pain in the neck and she is worryingly incapable of making friends. At least, if she adopted a cat, she might find some consolation, but her father is allergic to cats. So Taloula confides her woes to her diary, telling of her arguments at home and her adventures at school.

It is summer! Mamycha’s five grandchildren are over the moon to be spending two weeks with her. However, this year something strange has happened in the village. The house belonging to old Mrs Ferrand, who died last year, seems to be occupied once more. According to Mamycha, the house has been rented for the summer by Americans. This was all the five cousins needed to arouse their curiosity. But why do the holidaymakers keep their shutters close all day? What do they get up to in their garden all night? What if they’re thieves? It is the chance for the gang to get investigating.

Maddie falls ill and is hospitalised; her days are numbered. Josephine is ready to do anything to put a bit of colour back in her friend’s cheeks. She discovers on an old photograph at Rosette’s home that her grandmother and grandfather once belonged to a brass band. Josephine realises straightaway: she has to learn the tuba for Maddie.

Turning four years of age is never easy, but it’s even trickier when, after four years of being a single child, you find out you’re going to get a little sister. So that the boy doesn’t get jealous, his parents pamper him: Mum lets him tear off the wallpaper in the new nursery, Dad takes him to the roundabout, and on Sunday, all three play silly games together underneath the quilt. It’s hard to work out grown-up’s worried glances when life has never been so beautiful. The months go by and Mummy’s tummy grows and grows. The big day arrives. The day of joy and celebration. Or is it?
Un attroupement s’est formé autour de la fanfare. Une dizaine de musiciens, des adolescents pour la plupart, jouent un air énergique et entraînant.

22 December, a train breaks down on a viaduct in the midst of a snow storm. Among the passengers are six teenagers, who don’t know each other, and who start suffering strange phenomena: hallucinations, visions of the dead, pestering voices. The ticket inspector is physically assaulted by one of them while another threatens passengers with a knife for a simple bottle of water. The press writes the perpetrators off as an organised gang of vandals. But to others, their actions are inexplicable and defy all logic. Why on that train? On that particular night? What happened to terrify the children so? After the train is rescued, the police lead an unsuccessful enquiry. The case is passed onto a psychologist who attempts to prove that the mysterious disappearances in the train are neither the fruit of their imaginations or merely a coincidence. Each one of them, it turns out has been the victim of a personal trauma in early years, on the same date: 22 December. The journey is a possibility for them to resolve their problems and free themselves from the weight of the past. A fascinating thriller about the paranormal set on the threshold between belief and certitude. 12 years + • 13.5 x 21.5 cm • 336 pages • ¤14.50

THE GRAND PRIX: AN INTERACTIVE BOOK FOR CHAMPION RACERS Author-illustrator: Loïc Robaeys This work involves an original concept where two competitors use pencils to advance square-by-square, from one-to-ten squares depending on the speed, in a bid to become the first to cross the finishing line, just like Formula 1 or rally drivers. Make sure your steering and speed are right or you might fly off the track. From simple to complex, the book offers a dozen gridded race circuits in environments similar to those of video games: Space Race, Cubic World, Volcano Island, Octopus Anger, Red Mountain, Grand Canyon and more. On one blank double page, the reader is invited to draw and imagine his own circuit.
Qui franchira en premier la ligne d’arrivée ? À l’aide d’un crayon qui permet d’avancer de case en case – de 1 à 10 en fonction de la vitesse – deux concurrents s’affrontent, tels des pilotes de formule 1 ou de rallye. Attention à bien calculer sa vitesse et à choisir sa trajectoire pour ne pas finir dans le décor ! 16 circuits spectaculaires, du plus simple au plus complexe.

ALL ALONE Author: Marion Achard After a serious road accident, thirteen-year-old Malo manages to extract himself from the vehicle crushed to smithereens on the hard-shoulder. Instead of waiting for help to arrive, he runs, fleeing the macabre scene, with the lifeless face of his father resting on the driving wheel. Is he dead? Malo can’t be sure. His immediate priority is to go fetch his little sister Siloa from her music lesson and stick together with her, come what may. Their fear of orphanhood, and of being separated and placed in a home, forces the children onto the road with one goal: to find their mother who herself abandoned them and fled to Morocco years ago. The journey is long; they walk for days, before hitch-hiking and taking a ferry. Along the way they have many beautiful encounters with other travellers, which help them learn the ways of the world. A moving lesson in sibling love.

DAUBING AT THE LOUVRE WORKBOOK Authors: Isabelle Peltier-Lécullée and Christophe Lécullée Illustrator: Magali Bardos Copublished with the Louvre Museum. This book offers children the chance to discover the masterpieces of the Louvre, like those of Delacroix, David or De Vinci and to appropriate the works themselves. Who has never dreamed of drawing on the back of the naked back of Ingres’s La Baigneuse, or to reinvent the beautifully immaculate costume of Watteau’s Gilles? The mischievous approach of the preceding books is still there, this time applied to a fresh selection of the museum’s works that the child is free to “daub” in line with instructions. It is one way for younger readers and their parents to encounter different techniques (collage, cutting out, drawing, etc) and to have a first, simple, fun contact with the history of art. 5 years + • 18 x 21 cm • 96 pages • 4 colours • softback with flaps • ¤14

L’Islam au Louvre
ISLAM AT THE LOUVRE Author: Rosène Declementi Illustrator: Louise Heugel The Islamic religion was born in the 7th century in the Arabic peninsular. The Louvre Museum exhibits a selection of 2000 works of Islamic art covering a period of more than 1300 years. Developed through invasions and successive conquests of the Mongols in Central Asia and in Iran, through the religion’s domination in Spain, the history of Islamic art reflects the traces left by each of these cultures. Double page features illustrate each key stage of the religion throughout history as well Islam’s main artistic symbols. There are also chapters devoted to architecture and manuscript art which reveal the very diverse artistic influences of Islamic art and its relationship to other artistic forms and movements. 9 years + • 22 x 18 cm • 56 pages • ¤13

In 1942, Janusz Korczak decided to accompany the children of the Warsaw ghetto to the camp of Treblinka. This strong symbolic act was the conclusion to his whole life’s commitment. Janusz Korczak was initially the pen name of a Polish doctor, Henry Goldszmit. In the 1910s, Korczak transformed his principles into action by opening two orphanages run according to the same principles of a Republic where the orphanage was run by the children themselves. Until the end his life, Korczak was committed to hammering out the message that children’s status and education should be rethought on completely different principles..

In 52 B.C., the victory of Julius Caesar’s troops in Alesia did not only mark the end of Gaulish independence. The subsequent process of Romanisation saw the birth of a Gallo-Roman culture, which contributed to progress in all domains. How was the new province organised? How did Gaulish practices and lifestyles evolve under Roman domination? This work relates the different aspects of Romanisation – how Latin became the official language and how the Roman religion was imposed on Gaul.
In 1685, the revocation of the Edict of Nantes forbade Protestantism in France. Marie Durand was among many Huguenot women to be imprisoned for refusing to recant her faith. Marie became an icon for the captives. The terrible conditions of their imprisonment did not prevent Marie from standing up to her captors. Memories of her childhood spent in a state of permanent danger, forced to worship in secret, while gradually her family was decimated, drove her on to write, protest and proclaim her freedom to worship during her thirty-eight years of captivity.

The horsebacked knights of yore are fascinating figures in medieval history and had a key role in the feudal system as the vessels of the seigneur whom they swore to serve and protect while respecting a very strict code of honour. After contextualisation of the medieval period, the work invites us to discover the life of knights in their activities and daily lives, focussing on the strong symbols which today feed the medieval imagination.

Murdered in 2006 in front of her home, the journalist, Anna Politkovskaïa, fought for human rights all her life. Resisting death threats and attempts at assault, Anna Politkovskaïa refused to remain silent and battled memorably in favour of the victims of the war in Chechnya. Her positioning against President Vladimir Putin’s regime and the international recognition for her work made her the symbol of militant and independent journalism..

Before the arrival of the whiteman, in 1492, there were seven million Amerindians organised into 500 tribes. By 1900, only 325,000 remained. It was Christopher Columbus who mistakenly first called them “Indians�; they liked to call themselves “Real Men�. This work looks at how they lived their daily lives and their routines varied according to their tribe, organised on the basis of lifestyles and climates but also according to the main stages of existence. The book also looks at the key and sometimes bloody episodes of the white invasion and at the main figures of the Indian resistance, veritable legends, such as Sitting Bull and Geronimo.

How can news images be interpreted? This work presents fortyfour photos over thirteen chapters to help children learn to interpret photography, focussing on the themes of perspective, framing, scale, height, foreground and background, main elements, the relationship between definition and blur, contrasts, cultural references, captions, and more. It is these factors that, in the heat of the moment, photojournalists make decisions upon to create a vision of an event and bring it meaning. Each chapter offers an interview with one of the featured photographers to help develop the theme and understand the photographic approach and how it relates to dynamic events. 12 years + • 18 x 18 cm • 96 pages • ¤16
SCIENCE ON THE HUNT FOR CRIME Author: Michèle Mira Pons Illustrator: Benjamin Bachelier Photographs from French police archives. When a crime, burglary or physical assault takes place, policemen are called to the scene of the crime and the investigation begins in the attempt to ascertain what exactly happened to be able to find the guilty party. Who turns up to the crime scene and what do they do? How do inspectors proceed to find clues and analyse the scene of the crime? In this captivating documentary, elaborated with the help of the French national police, each chapter is based on a real crime, illustrated in a strip cartoon to present the different investigative scientific techniques. Here we discover just how the most recent inventions and discoveries of science are used to serve justice.

Sport and physical disability. Are the ideas really so geometrically opposed? Sporting activities are indeed rare among people with disabilities. Despite advances due to the 2005 law “for the equal opportunity, social involvement and citizenship of people with disabilities”, daily life is still strewn with pitfalls for people with impaired mobility. However by stimulating the body in such challenging circumstances, and by developing the physical aptitudes necessary for daily life, regular physical activity can help reconcile people with disabilities with their impairments.
