BAMBIBambi is a coming-of-age novel that tells of the many ordeals a young deer must overcome after his mother is killed by hunters. The original text by Felix Salten, published in Germany in 1923, was met with immediate success, but was later banned and burned by Nazi authorities because of its "political allegory of the treatment of the Jewish people in Europe."

KING KONGKing Kong, the legendary giant gorilla, was created by screenwriter and film producer Merian C. Cooper in 1933. In this retelling of the mythical movie, the narrator’s point of view alternates with King Kong’s, allowing the reader to glimpse into the monstrous gorilla's psyche. This original take on the famous story accentuates the similarities between Kong and the heroine, the beautiful but penniless actress Ann, who understands Kong’s loneliness, and his resentment for being turned into a sideshow attraction. Ages 5 & up
François Roca’s paintings beautifully depict the raw power of King Kong, as well as New York in the 1930s.

Le Corps des femmes : Ce que les artistes ont voulu faire de nous
THE FEMALE BODYWHAT ARTISTS WANTED TO MAKE OF USSince prehistoric times and the Venus of Willendorf, women have been the object of fantasies. Goddesses or prostitutes, virgins or witches, loving mothers or sexualized daughters: they have been portrayed, put on display, and overexposed from a predominantly masculine point of view. With stun-ning iconography, from Botticelli to Cindy Sherman, Picasso to Frida Kahlo, and many other illustrious artists, this book is an account of the evolution of women’s status, a journey through their sexual and political emancipation.
THE FOREST OF TOMATOESAmelie is both excited and nervous as she sets off on her first train ride alone to go visit her grandmother. During a stopover at the Forest of Tomatoes, she gets lost. Thankfully, Grandma Raven takes the distraught little girl under her wing… This is the first of many quirky encounters that will help Amelie gain confi-dence in herself and allow her to get back on the train! Somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood, this coming-of-age story is enhanced by cheerful, vibrant illustrations. Ages 3 & up
A new approach to art history, shown through the evolution of how the female body is portrayed.

By transposing the story into the animal world, he chooses to reflect on human nature while making Trea-sure Island accessible to a younger audience. The twists and turns keep readers on the edge of their seats in this exciting tale of adventure, which becomes both epic novel and coming-of-age story in the hands of an extraordinary storyteller. Ages 9 & up
WOODEN CROSSESIn 1919, Albin Michel published Les Croix de Bois by Roland Dorgelès, which forever revolutionized the war novel genre. Inspired by the author’s experiences as a soldier in the trenches of WWI, the book was immediately acclaimed by critics. JD Morvan and Facundo Percio deliver a brilliant adaptation of this horrific, uncompromising, yet sometimes humorous masterpiece by connecting Dorgelès’ novel with events from his own life, thus demonstrating the thin line that exists between truth and fiction.
