? Peuvent-elles créer des frayeurs inutiles? Risquent-elles de lui faire perdre le contact avec la réalité, l'amenant à vivre dans le monde de l'imaginaire ? Par ailleurs, les histoires favorisent-elles un intérêt ultérieur pour la lecture ? Comment les choisir ? Quelle est la différence entre un conte, une fable, une légende ? Quelles sont les conditions de succès d'une histoire ? Vaut-il mieux la lire ou la raconter dans ses mots ? Pourquoi le rituel du coucher inclut-il très souvent la lecture d'une histoire ? Comment peut-on utiliser les histoires dans les garderies ? Et à la maison ? Le présent ouvrage répond de façon remarquable à ces questions et souligne le rôle essentiel des histoires dans la vie de l'enfant.

controversy surrounding his tragic death. Tiaina Baul &“Junior&” Seau is widely considered to be among the best linebackers in NFL history, a ten-time All-Pro, a twelve-time Pro Bowl selection, and a first-ballot entrant into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But in 2012, just two years after retiring from football, Junior Seau committed suicide. Studies of his brain by the National Institutes of Health concluded that Seau suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease often caused by repeated hits to the head. Seau&’s suicide spawned numerous investigations into the brains of deceased NFL players, and many were found to have CTE. Drawing on exclusive access to Seau&’s family as well as Seau&’s never-before-seen diaries and letters, Jim Trotter paints a moving and revealing portrait of a larger-than-life sports star whose achievements on the field were rivaled by his personal demons.&“Few people knew Junior Seau like Jim Trotter . . . he took a sports book and artistically crafted it into a lyrical narrative about dreams, love, and, ultimately, heart-wrenching loss.&”—Lars Anderson, author of The All AmericansThey Better Call Me Sugar: My Journey From The Hood To The Hardwood
