acte politique. Une escouade de résistants poétiques se sont mis à l'œuvre dans le plus grand secret. Réunis plus ou moins télépathiquement pour une mission de la plus haute importance amusante : s'émerveiller suffisamment fort pour que le bleu de la flamme de leurs souvenirs d'enfance puisse éclairer vos nuits. Chacun d'entre eux a pris place dans l'avion en papier géant qu'ils passent leur vie à confectionner, déchirer, recoller et réinventer. Ils s'apprêtent à semer des graines d'histoires dans vos rêves. » Mathias Malzieu Parce que le livre est le moyen infaillible de garder au plus près de soi une part de merveilleux, Mathias Malzieu a donné rendez-vous à quelques-uns des artistes, créateurs, écrivains qu'il admire, autant de voix qui, entre tendresse, curiosité et nostalgie joyeuse, reviennent à cette période étonnante qu'est l'enfance.

Par Megan Fox. 2023
Megan Fox showcases her wicked humor throughout a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of more than…
seventy poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process. "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what's been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness," says Fox. Pretty Boys Are Poisonous marks the powerful debut from one of the most well-known women of our time.

Par Megan Madison. 2023
An audiobook edition of the board book about grief, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children…
in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of grief. This book aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. It centers around several questions that arise about grief and honest, simple ways to answer them. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. There is simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussionThe Aeneid
