PICTURE BOOKS MUM AT SCHOOL Author: Éric Veillé Illustrator: Pauline Martin
In this new Jean-Michel adventure, our super-caribou has a mission to save Christmas!
A moving, madcap picture book that takes the heat out of that inevitable rite of passage for all children: the first day at school.
The inhabitants of Windicity are getting ready to celebrate Christmas. But panic has broken out in the North Pole: Father Christmas is exhausted and the gift delivery service is running way behind schedule. To avert catastrophe, the Christmas elves can only see one solution: kidnap a superhero, a superhero like Jean-Michel…
It’s the first day at school and there is no way the little girl is going to let her mother abandon her in tears in the middle of the other children. She hangs on to her so tight that mom ends up in the classroom, and spends her day putting up her hand, cutting out shapes to decorate a wall frieze and then sleeping in the afternoon. It’s not quite mom’s cup of tea, and even though she’s too big for the classroom, she makes a big effort to fit in.

JEAN-MICHEL THE CARIBOU AND FATHER CHRISTMAS AT HIS WIT’S END
ACTES SUD junior
I AM A COLOR Author-illustrator: Gwen le Gac A jolly jumbled picture book for teaching children about colors and the emotions associated with them – in 722 possible combinations! The language expressions of color and emotion – “red with anger”, “green with envy”, “white with fear”, etc… – are brought together with facial expressions: a colorful gallery of portraits and expressive masks. The pages are divided in two and invite children to play with this palette of expressions, emotions and colors, while upsetting conventions by multiplying the possible combinations (by jumbling images - “green eyes on a yellow background and a blue mouth on a red background - and expressions: “blue with anger” etc). An intimate experiment in color.

The much awaited new edition of the second board book featuring Jean-Michel the super-hero.
An embroidered picture book that grasps the small yet very intense moments of childhood in short poems.
Jean-Michel the caribou has an ultra-important special mission to accomplish: to save the sun! A book where children follow the story with their fingers and guide our superhero around his adventure, through rain, snow and wind. The perfect work to introduce children to various meteorological phenomena.
When Salimata tries to remember, she closes her eyes, which have already recorded thousands of maps, addresses, streets and more. All she has to do is reread them. Leo knows how to do tons of things: he can tie up his laces, recite his four-times table, build a bridge out of cubes – with his eyes closed. Matenin knows how to hug, and when you close your eyes, there’s nothing better. Nothing better for feeling, dreaming and growing. 9:HSMDNA=UZ[UWZ:

Rejected by all, the bear decides to prove what a real bear he is.

Charles Darwin, une révolution
Author: Annabelle Kremer Illustrator: François Olislaeger Copublished with the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie. A non-fiction work in comic book form to find out everything you need to know about Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. This work tells of the life and work of the genius, Charles Darwin. This work explains his scientific approach, from naturalist observation to theoretical explanation and experimentation, in a lively way, introducing readers to how the theory of evolution was born.
Jacques Perrin and Stéphane Durand A beautiful book to accompany the release of Jacques Perrin’s latest movie, The Seasons. In his movie, Jacques Perrin retraces 15,000 years of natural history on the European continent. The main actors are mammoths, reindeer, wolves, squirrels, deer, birds and the continent’s fauna. How did the vast stretch of ice that was the European continent give way to the forest, inhabited by thousands of species, including man? This dazzling journey back through time is complemented by a children’s documentary book and by magnificent photos taken from the feature film.
Il y a 15 000 ans, l’ère glaciaire s’achève en Europe. La glace, la steppe et la toundra cèdent la place à une immense forêt qui se peuple de milliers d’espèces : aurochs, cerfs, loups, écureuils, oiseaux... Le film de Jacques Perrin et Jacques Cluzaud, Les Saisons, retrace cette histoire de la nature européenne. Dans ce livre, on retrouve les animaux du film et leurs luttes pour survivre et parfois s’adapter aux cycles climatiques et à l’empreinte toujours plus forte

Plants and animals are fond of geometrical figures not out of any desire to follow fashion but because they bring animals and plants a whole host of advantages: camouflage, aerodynamics, parade attire, and more besides. Their uniforms are the result of a long process of natural selection and their physical constraints in the wild. The clever combination of biology and poetry in the texts and illustrations reveal this fascinating pact between nature and mathematics. 9:HSMDNA=UZ[VXV:

Noctiluca, an owl of indeterminate age, is fond of telling stories: the story of the Earth when it was covered in ice, and the story of the reindeer who saved a species of unusual creatures, the “Zomes”. There is also the story of the marriage of the forest to the river, the war of mice against mules and of Nils the flying squirrel. Noctiluca also has a magic-trick or two up his sleeve. 4 years + – 56 pages – 28.5 x 34 cm – 23¤

“Du courage, il allait en falloir à Élisabeth. Cela faisait déjà quelques kilomètres que la meute progressait au ralenti et brassait dans la neige. Un exercice épuisant, fait de sauts successifs plus que d’une véritable marche. Arrivée en tête du cortège, elle caressa Innu et plongea son regard dans celui de son chien. Elle retrouvait la même confiance, la même loyauté absolue qu’elle lisait autrefois dans les yeux de Laïka. Un regard qui témoignait devant les éléments que ce chien et elle étaient désormais liés pour la vie. ”
PASCAL VATINEL
Hiver 1924. Une épidémie de diphtérie menace la région de Nome, en Alaska. Pour l’approvisionner en sérum, une périlleuse expédition de conducteurs de traîneaux est organisée. Avec leurs chiens, ils vont braver les –50 °C de la taïga sur plus de mille kilomètres. Parmi eux… Élisabeth, l’héroïne de La Dernière Course.

146298 Author: Rachel Corenblit A text that is both serious and enlightening about memory and forgetting. “146298” is the series of numbers tattooed on her grandmother’s arm. She has seen them there all her life without really understanding their significance. Then one day in class, the penny drops. At first she is angry at this well-kept family secret, but she finally manages to get her grandmother to talk to her about it and conjure up tales from her failing memory: the raid, the journey, the concentration camp, the hunger. The lives of the young girl and her elderly grandmother intertwine and find a sense of harmony.

Author: Murielle Szac In 1898, the writer Emile Zola appeared before the court for defamation. In a manifesto entitled “J’accuse!” published on the front page of L’Aurore newspaper, he challenged the military hierarchy of the French army for unjustly accusing Captain Dreyfus of espionage. Through the narrative of Alexandrine, the writer’s wife, Dreyfus’s supporters and detractors come head-tohead over the issue against a backdrop of anti-semitism.

À L’INTOLÉRANCE
A collection of short stories by Gérard Dhôtel, Bruno Doucey, Maria Poblete, Nimrod, Elsa Solal and Murielle Szac, recounting a collective revolt against the scourge of intolerance. An impossible love between a Jewish boy and a Muslim girl, the trials of a bullied teenager, a young illegal immigrant in dire straits, a woman killed for witchcraft, a young resistant with anger in his soul and a dying journalist compose this mosaic of tales – a choir of voices singing their desire to live together.

THOSE WHO SAID “NO” COLLECTION
“Sofia a bien compris que l’eau est le seul élément dans lequel je me retrouve à égalité avec elle. À la piscine, on a inventé un petit jeu qui consiste à se laisser couler vers le fond du bassin en s’embrassant. Nous sommes enlacés, debout, sur le sol carrelé. Mais depuis que je viens avec elle, les gens ont changé de comportement : ils ne s’adressent plus à moi, mais à elle, comme si elle était ma baby-sitter.”
