Here’s one mouse who doesn’t know the meaning of “fear”: in the process of escaping the crocodile who wants to devour her, she stops mid-chase and tells him wild and wonderful stories and hence distracts his attention. The more µµrocambolesque stories the croc hears the sleepier he feels and he finally falls asleep. It’s the perfect chance for the mouse to escape, but the mouse doesn’t seize the occasion. “How dare you fall asleep? Are you trying to tell me my stories aren’t interesting?” But by yelling and shouting - Mais !!! Tu l’écoutes, this way, she obviously ends up waking mon histoire ?!! the predator up!

All the instructions children will need to learn to draw a cow, stage-by-stage: legs, tail, head and teeth. Uh oh! Don’t panic! The book also gives instructions of what to do if your cow ends up looking dangerously like a crocodile. And what’ll happen if the creature then leaps out of the page to gobble up its illustrator? Time to get the eraser out. A delightfully madcap picture book in which we learn how learning to draw a cow can be more complicated than it seems, and even quite dangerous.

HISTOIRE DE JULIE

You’re always saying wicked things, always falling over, and always up to mischief.’ Julie’s parents spend so much time reproaching her for being a tomboy that one morning her shadow turns into the shadow of a boy, who mimics and caricatures her every move. At first she finds her alter-ego amusing, 9:HSMDQE=\YY[WW: but eventually she starts doubting her own identity. But how do you get rid of a shadow that isn’t your own?

Pacome lives with his wife and three children on a small plot of land in west Siberia. He is far from rich but his family has everything they need. Pacome however is dissatisfied with his lot and he can’t help but think that with more land, he’d be “totally happy”. On the advice of a traveling salesman, Pacome decides to set out for the land of bashkirs, where the land is fertile and costs nothing. Once he has arrived, the head of the nomad camp offers him a deal: Pacome can have all the land he can walk around in a day, on the condition that he returns to his starting point when the sun sets. The peasant’s greed and cupidity will prove fatal. A

Hugo doesn’t like walking. But his parents and sister love rambling. So he grumbles as he trails behind them through the forest, his pockets full of candy. Hours and miles later, his father is forced to admit they are lost. But like Tom Thumb, Hugo has left a trail of candy papers along the way. It’s very naughty to leave litter, but at least it’ll save his family from a night out in the forest. A sweet-tooth isn’t such a character fault after all. A text paying tribute to the lazy-bones who are always trailing behind.

Roman
Violine is a princess who is all alone in her huge castle, and who loves running around the meadows, listening to bird song, and removing honey from hives. Aurelie shares her small two-roomed apartment with her mother on the nineteenth floor of a tower. Above all, she loves dreaming – about a princess all alone in her castle. Where she lives there are no bees and few birds: the city has conquered nature. But not her imagination. A text written to accompany a concert of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons performed on the France Culture radio station. A delicately poetic, feminist tale that celebrates the power of the imagination.

Jean-Sébastien Leforestier was a master in the art of not getting himself noticed and remaining transparent to his teachers and classmates. But now he has moved to a smaller town with a smaller junior high, that’s all over for him now. Everybody knows everyone else; his secret is out. Jean-Sébastien is a magnificent classical piano player and lives for his passion. Contrary to his expectations, not only does nobody make fun of him but he is enlisted in a crazy and very amateur rock band as bassist. Hence the solitary, slightly annoying classical musican, full of his own certitudes, discovers rock music and how to get on with children his own age. After all rock ain’t bad. It kicks ass!

Gaïa Guasti After the shock of revelation a year ago, Mila, Tristan and Ludovic begin to enjoy their new state and derive great pleasure from it. The three friends indulge in long races through the forest, nights beneath the stars, drawn together by the hunger of the pack, while the red-headed she-wolf licks her wounds in her secret hideaway. A new, unsettling animal is also wandering the forest though, unleashing violent impulses in Ludovic. The harmony of the trio is unbalanced by the intrusion and has to face new trials with the return of the red-headed she-wolf. The adults are also worried about their children’s transformation and the teenagers’ attempts to regain control of the situation is symbolized by the figure of an authoritative, blinkered psychiatrist. This second volume is as dense and captivating as the first and recounts the further adventures of the three heroes in the heart of the forest, their animal desire for freedom and their feelings of danger. Gaia Guasti est née à Florence en 1974. À dix-huit ans, alors qu’elle baragouine trois mots de français, elle quitte son Italie natale direction Paris. En 1996, elle passe le concours de la Femis – École nationale des métiers de l’image et du son – où elle suivra le cursus du département scénario. Depuis, elle n’a pas quitté la France. Scénariste pour le cinéma, à partir de 2011 elle se consacre également à l’écriture pour la jeunesse. Elle prend le temps, par ailleurs, de voir grandir ses deux filles, source d’inspiration intarissable.

Mila, Ludovic and Tristan are childhood friends. While each has found their own path in life, they have held onto the ritual of an end-of-autumn reunion at la Résurgence du loup to celebrate their birthdays. But this time, they are attacked and bitten by four wild dogs. Once they recover from the shock, they realize that whenever they’re overcome with emotions, they turn into werewolf-like wild beasts. They have to understand and try to control their transformations. Each in his own way gradually discovers his own nature, their own wild natures inhabiting them, which are also capable of liberating them. A red-headed she-wolf however inhabited by a mysterious instinct of vengeance begins to track down the three friends. More than a tale of the supernatural, this novel subtly and powerfully evokes the metamorphosis of adolescence.
