NEW TITLES
THE PUDDLE
g La Flaque
g May Angeli
g €14 g 21x24 cmg 32 pagesgHard cover
p.4
A dazzling picture book for smaller children, illustrated with wonderful wood engravings, to
enjoy the pleasure to splash in puddles. Rain is
over. There is only one puddle left on the path.
A bee, a swallow, some sparrows, a turtle, and
a few ducks cool down in it one after the other. Until a little girl arrives “Me too! I want to
play to play with you!” The ducks, annoyed, pull
away. But that’s not funny to play alone! Luckily,
a small pig arrives. The strength of this picture
book is in its simplicity: the artist turns a prosaic
puddle into a real piece of art. The child is filled
with wonder to see the nature live again, just
after rain. The animals parade to quench their
thirst or to frolic in fresh water. That’s a real artist’s book for toddlers.
ZOÉ’S CARAVAN
g La Roulotte de Zoé
g Claude Clément - Magali Dulain
p.5
Once upon a time, there was a little farmer.
After having been forced of her house, she
creates a new cosy home in a wooden caravan.
She lives there with her young nanny goat and
her cat, until the day when a squirrel, then a
little hen, and an old horse knock at the door...
Each time, the little woman opens her door and
her heart. For each new comer, we get closer,
and we are happier!
THE ADVENTURERS OF THE EVENING
g Les aventuriers du soir
g Anne Brouillard
p.6
In the forest, Gaspard, his cuddly toy and his
cat Mimi built a hut. Then they go fishing on
a tree, and decide to discover the world. But
darkness arrives…
All the talent of Anne Brouillard is here: for the
3 friends, there’s nothing beyond the boundaries of the garden. A few meters from there,
there is the reassuring presence of the house,
and the parents. The artist excels in the switching between children’s imagination and reality,
and in the evocation of nature and of bed’s
time.
THE SPLASH
g Le Plouf
g Guillaume Olive - He Zhihong
g €14 g 16x28cmg 32 pagesgHard cover
p.7
Along the bank of a river, a huge “splash” rings
out. Terrified, a little rabbit runs away, screaming loudly “Help! Here comes the Splash!”
Panic spreads to the whole forest: the fox, the
monkey, the zebra, the elephant, the giraffe, the
bear, the panther… Everybody begins to race,
until they bump into the tiger. But who is the
Splash?
This little tale, in an original format and layout,
plays on the notions of fear, of stupidity, and of
rumor. The paintings are realized on rice paper, in the great Chinese tradition. Let’s think
before reacting! Here is the main message of
this funny tale.
BABEL CITY
g Cité Babel
g Pascal Hédelin - Gaëlle Duhazé
g €16.50 g 16x40 cmg 30 pages
gHard cover
p.8
Three families live in this building of Babel City
– three families with different beliefs: a Muslim family, a Jewish one, and a Christian one.
Downstairs, you can visit the grocery shop of
Mister Felix – he is atheist. Thanks to the four
flours (corresponding to four little books in
one), seen with a sectional view, we follow the
different families living through the seasons.
What are their major biggest religious festivals?
What are the rites linked with birth, wedding,
and funeral? What are their religious observances and diets? Babel City also allows us to
become familiar with other religions, such as
Buddhism, Hinduism, and to learn things about
superstitions.
Using simple words to describe each religion, it
proposes to bring to light their common features instead of their differences, and emphasis
the importance to live together. A very smart
and clever book for our times!

u To be published in November 2015
p.11
Create your own carousel book using 5 large backgrounds and
18 pages of pre-cut and pre-folded elements. You first have to
fold, assemble and glue the sceneries, then the whole illustration appears: incredible perspective and various viewpoints,
subtle colors, and cuts and hiding effects. The first double-page
is already built, to show an example of what the book looks like
once finished. A short poetic text, allegory of our childhood’s
doubts and dreams, rhythms the different pages. A bird gets
closer, picks up a little dot from its plumage and plants it to give
birth to… imagination!
This little dot of imagination is the common thread of the book.
When the book is finally finished, open it again, attach the front
cover and the back cover and let yourself be charmed, page
after page, by this dreamy and optimistic creation.

Grandpa Super Flash’s my grandpa. Yesterday he was
on a mission with his super-hero cape, today… he’s sitting in his armchair with his slippers on. I want him to
be a super hero, so I say loudly “someone needs you
on this planet!” At this point, someone knocks at the
door: Greenman, a super friend of grandpa. Grandpa
Super Flash has a new mission! A funny book on the
relationships between grandchildren and grandparents,

p.15
Two little birds discover a white pompom. When moving, the pompom makes a sound - the sound of a harmonium! And if you put a white pompom next to another,
you can draw figures: a line, a stair, a river. And yes: it
creates a melody. Each pompom has a color and represents an instrument: a jew’s harp, a sitar, a tabla… And
the song appears at the end, when the tiger arrives.
Internationally acclaimed author Edouard Manceau invites us to discover how music scores work, as well as
the instruments and songs from India. A wonderful trip
into music and illustrations.
This book cannot be published without the CD.

Fire, medicine, sundials, watermills, glasses… this wonderful

are realized in direct colors, and a short non-fiction text recalls who the inventor is, and what the context of the creation
was.
A stunning book that will entertain kids, science fans, and all
the animated books lovers.

At the edge of the forest, Mother Fox looks at
its young frolicking in the snow. But the little
ones walk a little too far from the earth... And
in an instant, Mother Fox loses sight of them!
She goes to look after them, but there are so
many trees, and the snow is so deep… Finding
them won’t be a piece of cake.
A tender and poetic stroll, a real hide and seek
through the snowy forest (for the reader, as for
Mother Fox), in dainty paper cuts. The fine and
delicate paper cuts make the forest even more
real.

THE STRANGE
g L’étrangeg Jérôme Ruillier
p.20
A man with a bear face leaves his native country to try his
luck in a foreign land, supposedly more prosperous. But he
doesn’t speak the language, and he’s an undocumented immigrant there. He becomes what the locals call “a strange”.
Once out of the aircraft, he meets several people, who merely observe him – a neighbor, a bus passenger, a crow – or who
get involved in his story: the housekeeper of the apartment
he lives in, policemen, his boss… The Strange is a splendid
and absorbing polyphonic work that helps us understand the
tragic fate of an illegal immigrant. At the same time, it enlightens a highly topical concern. By comparing different points
of view, the book shows the complexity of the situation. The
story, with its animal characters, in a country which is never
mentioned, has undoubtedly a universal dimension, a bit like
a fable. A moving book!
I LIKE
g J’aime
g Emmanuelle Bastien
I like... peas, blueberries, soap bubbles, sparkling water
or hiding myself… This funny list, that reminds the one of
Jacques Prévert, is graphically translated in this book in
a very playful manner: through some rounded holes of
different sizes and coloured pages. Indeed, to represent
the elements of this list, a graphic game between colours and sizes of the holes is enough: a big yellow hole
on a blue page for the sun… Emmanuelle Bastien invites
children to travel into an intensely creative interaction
with the book itself.

A teenager addicted to online multiplayer games will
have an encounter that will change the course of his life.
Is it a fantasy creature? No, just an extraordinary one.
Mo is a 14-year-old introvert teenager who lives and
breathes for Endof World, a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. But one day, while he gets lost
in the forest during an orientation trail at school, he is
suddenly pursued by a strange creature.
Convinced that it’s a troll from the fantasy world he’s so
fond of, he tries to find it again. But he will soon understand the truth after an accident in the mountain... The
creature is not a troll - it’s a girl of his age, who has been
hiding in the mountains for so many years.
An extraordinary story, full of sensitivity, twists and surprises, that deals with original topics such as growing
up in the woods and child abuse… but also with first
love and freedom. Emmanuelle Maisonneuve has an incredible talent to make us fall immediately in love with
the forest, the nature and the animals she describes. A
beautiful novel.

The Seas Robber lives in a castle on a desert island.
He is a mysterious and solitary man, wearing a hat,
a cape and a pair of boots. He never leaves his
hideout, except when he uses his submarine to
accost and rob the ships around. Then he spends
his gold, buying books and provisions in a strange
village not far from his hiding place. Chased by
the navy, he keeps a low profile in the village. But
he will soon catch the attention of the fisherman’s
son… This narrative is focused on imagination,
secret, and filiation, in the literary tradition of Stevenson, Verne and Defoe and following the graphic
research of De Stijl and Vhutemas.

tainted by the dress of another woman. A few
pages later, a couple fight for the custody of
their daughter to the point where she’s literally cut in two. In Pieces is a beautiful book of
