Each book offers a funny story and advice from professionals to better understand what’s happening in the minds of toddlers… and their parents!

Welcome to the everyday lives of toddlers and their parents!

Learning cleanliness is so funny! And when parents get involved, it’s a real family affair!

Why should a toddler eat her dinner like a big kid when she can get dad’s attention by being silly?

Sometimes, moments of separation can be as hard for children as they

are for parents... How can we make them easier?

“Be nice, gently, don’t run!” What if adults took the time to understand what’s really

on their toddler’s minds?

EAT YOUR FOOD MAHMOUD DON’T RUN GRAYSON!

In an age when the world is moving far too quickly and children are confronted by screens almost everywhere they look, the Sights, Sounds and Smells Around Me collection offers children an opportunity to slow the pace right down, focus on their feelings and remember the little noises, pleasant aromas and stunning views that make up the most treasured memories of their holidays. Gentle and inspiring books that are perfect for the whole family to read together.Designed to be enjoyed in family reading sessions, the books in this series highlight sensory details as they encourage readers to relax and reflect on the passage of time.

The cock with a crow to welcome each day… Eggs from the coop where the hens sit and lay… Blackberries picked by a path’s gentle turn… Eating them all before we return…

SEASIDE HOLIDAYS

Jumping through waves, crashing wild and free… Savouring the salt-water taste of the sea…Filling your pockets with shells from the shore… Which you listen to, hearing the ocean roar...

Every double page evokes a specific smell, sight or feeling… Guided by the flowing rhythm of rhyming couplets and montage-style illustrations… To bring the magic of a special moment on the beach back to life.

NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION

Pompom feels lost. His friend Blaise played a mean trick on him. The little rabbit is mad and doesn’t want to listen to his friends anymore. His mommy kindly reassures him. Then his daddy tells him a secret: our hearts are like gardens, and it’s up to each one of us to decide what we want to plant and grow in them. We are much happier when we sow seeds of truth (which bring knowledge) rather than seeds of falsehood (which lead to fear).Not believing things blindly, pausing to think, and asking others before shutting yourself away in fear—this, as Pompom learns, is the secret of happiness.

Tom lives on his parents’ crocodile farm, and it’s his job to look after the animals. What Tom loves more than anything else, however, is music! When he hears two alligators tapping out a beat and whistling an accompanying melody, he joins them to form the Crocodiles’ Blues Band…

Tom’s father finds out about the band, and becomes convinced that his son is wasting his time, angrily forbidding any more music-making.

In young Mulu’s clan, all little boys eye their father’s spears with envy, anxiously awaiting the day when they will be old enough to hunt.But not Mulu. Every day, he follows the river to its source and goes into a cave that only he knows about… other than a huge bear hibernating there! Inside the cave, Mulu decorates the stone with his hands and carves it with bones or sharpened sticks. He paints the animals his people hunt.One morning, Mulu finds his father’s spear next to his bed. He knows what is expected of him. So he quietly runs away to his secret cave, to live with the sleeping bear.But outside, the clouds are growing dark—a storm is about to hit.

OLD CHILDREN

The elderly’s steps are short and slow, They wait until the crosswalk sign says “Go.” “Going fast is dangerous, you know!” When they talk about the old days Ask them questions worthy of praise, Then listen to their stories and be amazed! “But if it seems like our memories are hazy, It doesn’t mean we’re completely crazy.” A lot of the time, their bodies are sore, But they keep fighting all the more “We try to encourage ourselves to stay strong:It’s just a boo-boo, there’s nothing too wrong!” Sometimes they close their eyes at day’s end, forgetting the years that already have been, And feel like newborn babies again.

WHAT IS THE EIFFEL TOWER FOR, ANYWAY?

Now very well known around the globe, the iron lady was the subject of a great source of debate in 1889 when different opinions emerged over the utility of such a structure.In fact, what is her purpose ? It is not a temple nor a cathedral or a theatre.The reader will also find unknown anecdotes related to this great icon.

Un trampoline géant ?

Un paratonnerre ?

Un phare pour la « Ville Lumière » ?

Pourtant, dès son inauguration, les Parisiens se ruent pour la visiter.

C’est un immense succès ! Bravo, félicitations, vive la tour

de 300 mètres !

Ah… D’accord… Très bien…

Mais sinon… à quoi sert-elle ?

Eiffel étudie également la chute des corps. Un câble vertical est suspendu au second étage, duquel on fait tomber des objets très lourds à toute vitesse vers le sol.

Cinq mille expériences sont ainsi menées !

Mais la tour Eiffel n’est pas encore tout à fait tirée d’affaire. Après tout, on pourrait faire la même chose n’importe où. En haut d’un phare, d’une colline, de la tour Montparnasse (ah non, c’est vrai, elle n’existe pas encore)…

TOUR EIFFEL

C’est vrai, ça, à quoi sert-elle ?La tour Eiffel est connue dans le monde entier, mais qui saurait dire ce qu’elle fait là ?Ce n’est ni une cathédrale, ni un temple, ni un théâtre, ni un opéra… Alors, c’est quoi ?

Voici l’étonnante histoire de notre tour Eiffel, qui n’a pas fini de nous faire rêver.

In the series so far:

Grumpy is a stray cat, and although he’s free to explore rooftops and cellars to his heart’s content, he has grown tired… And rather plump! On the day of his seventh birthday (making him forty-two in cat years), Grumpy makes a big decision — he’s going to turn his life around and fi nd somewhere to settle down, a house with a garden and a sofa that he can call his own. A combination of chance and bad weather leads him to the home of Pierre, Marion, Louise and Victor. Grumpy’s fi rst few days as a housemate aren’t all that easy, however — for either the humans or their new feline guest… There are no two ways about it — Grumpy has found himself a home, in this house, with this family.

‘My housemates are nice; they do their own thing without stepping on my paws too much.’ But living together as a family also means making allowances for one another. If there’s a family outing, for example, or if Louise invites one of her friends over…When the delicate harmony of family life can shatter at any moment, chaos is always ready to take its place — how exciting!And who would have thought that Grumpy could be allergic to beard hair?

HISTORY IN A GRAPHIC NOVEL FORMAT – THE BEGINNINGS OF ISLAM

By Dominique Joly & Emmanuel Olivier

November 202020,7 x 27,4 cm48 pages€ 12.95

Discover one of the richest and most fascinating civilizations in the history of the world!

Islam was founding around 610 A.D., and with it the incredible Islamic civilization! This graphic novel follows the life of Muhammad and the compiling of the Quran after his death, then the great conquests to spread the prophet’s message and eventually build a vast empire. Under the management of caliphs, the Islamic empire fl ourishes with a sophisticated way of life, fabulous architecture, intense trade, exceptional artistry, and an unparalleled development of knowledge thanks to its countless scholars, astronomers, doctors, and philosophers.A work whose contents were reviewed and approved by an islamologist.

Ce grand désert est peuplé par les Arabes, appelés Saracènes* par les Grecs. Ce sont principalement des nomades (ou Bédouins), éleveurs de chèvres, de dromadaires et de moutons. Leur vie est très rude.

Grâce au bétail, nous pouvons survivre. Mais il faut le déplacer sans cesse

pour trouver de l’eau et des pâturages.

* De ce mot vient « Sarrazins », un nom qui désignera les musulmans dans l’Europe du Moyen Âge.

C’est en Arabie, cette péninsule immense brûlée par le soleil, que naît au VIIe siècle une religion, l’islam, qui va bientôt bouleverser l’Histoire du monde connu.

Entre l’Orient, l’Extrême-Orient, l’Afrique et les pays méditerranéens,

L’Arabie est un grand carrefour ouvert sur trois mers.

Sa superficie est grande, égale aux 2 / 3 de l’Europe.

Son climat est désertique : sec avec des températures élevées dans la journée, qui deviennent glaciales la nuit,

parfois accompagnées de vents forts.

Au sud s’étend l’« Arabie heureuse » (actuel Yémen), montagneuse et arrosée par des pluies qui la rendent verdoyante.

Partout ailleurs, c’est l’Arabie des déserts, avec ses vastes étendues de sable et

de rocs ponctuées d’oasis, où l’eau permet les cultures.Présence de juifs et / ou chrétiens

Dès ses premiers prêches, Muhammad convertit des dizaines de personnes. Ces adeptes de l’islam, sont appelés musulmans, c’est-à-dire ceux qui croient en Dieu et son prophète. Ils sont riches, pauvres ou esclaves.

Je suis Abu Bakr, un riche marchand, et je crois en la

parole de Muhammad.

Moi, c’est Khabbab, le forgeron : je me

suis converti.

Bilal, c’est mon nom, et je suis esclave. Je suis devenu un musulman.

Muhammad divague : il nous demande de renoncer à notre religion !

Mais parmi son clan, à sa grande tristesse, il a peu de succès.

Au sein de sa tribu de riches marchands, sa déception est encore plus amère. On le moque. Pire, on le méprise.

Qu’il retourne à ses chameaux et à ses moutons !

C’est un sorcier. Il parle de

Jugement dernier. Il a donné une date ?

Et son enfer. Nous aussi, nous

y brûlerons ?

Moi, pour croire, j’attends qu’il fasse

un miracle.

Il faut l’exclure de son clan ou le bannir !

Peu à peu, l’indifférence ou le dédain des gens de La Mecque se transforment en hostilité ouverte.

Pourquoi tant d’oppositions ?

Je remets en cause le culte des divinités et des idoles,

l’inégalité sociale et l’autorité des grands chefs de tribu.

Ça ne plaît pas !

Et surtout, on craint que je supprime le pèlerinage : une menace pour les riches

marchands qui font à cette occasion de nombreuses affaires en profitant de la présence des foules de pèlerins.

8

À Médine, Muhammad cherchait à cimenter la jeune communauté de musulmans qui n’avait plus de liens de clan et de tribu. Il leur donna des lois, des règles, ou reprit celles qui existaient déjà en les rendant plus justes. Elles sont contenues dans le Coran et la Sunna.

Lis bien le Coran

et la Sunna pour savoir comment te comporter.

Élaborées au Moyen Âge, ces règles sont ancrées dans leur époque. Certaines portent sur la vie en société. Elles condamnent la vengeance, le vol, l’esclavage…

Quel est le contraire de

« vengeance » ?

Rendre le mal par le bien.

Le mariage est un devoir car il assure la survie de la communauté. La polygamie, étant en usage en Arabie, est permise aux hommes mais limitée à quatre épouses.

Je te présente ma quatrième

épouse.

N’oublie pas que tu devras la faire vivre et la traiter à égalité avec les autres.

L’héritage des femmes devient obligatoire : une grande nouveauté dans la société arabe de l’époque, même si elle reste inégalitaire.

Nous pouvons hériter, mais notre part ne représente

que la moitié de celle des

hommes.

Dans sept jours, nous lui donnerons un prénom

et ses cheveux seront tondus.

L’éducation religieuse des enfants commence par la lecture du Coran.

Et en même

temps, nous apprenons à lire en arabe !

Des écoles coraniques sont fondées.

Et ton livre, Malek ?

Je l’ai oublié !

Les grands moments de la vie du musulman sont accompagnés de gestes et de rituels qui étaient parfois déjà pratiqués avant l’arrivée de l’islam.

DYNAMYTHS20 MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES WE TALK ABOUT WITHOUT KNOWING IT

Hearing an echo, being turned to stone… have you heard these expressions? Lots of everyday phrases come from Greek mythology, and we don’t even realize it! Annelise Heurtier dusts off a few of these myths and tells them in a new way, all while revealing the meanings of some common expressions. So hang on tight! The story of “Pandora’s Box” becomes a brutal interrogation to determine whether it really was poor Pandora’s fault, “Atlas” turns into a diva giving an interview on top of a mountain, and “Panic” becomes to a street interview bringing together nymphs, gods, and war generals. This unique book blends comedy, action, poetry, and song into a tale of epic proportions!
