mais aussi grandir. Pour y faire face et les surmonter, les enfants ont besoin de pouvoir en parler... Ou qu'on leur en parle. Parce que l'imagination est le mode privilégié pour communiquer avec eux, les petites histoires de Sophie Carquain les aident, mine de rien, mieux qu'un propos pédagogique. Des difficultés de la nuit aux grands problèmes du monde (guerres, publicité, obsession de l'argent...) en passant par la jalousie, le divorce, le racket, la différence..., l'enfant est avide de vérité. Encore faut-il aborder ces sujets "à distance", dans son langage à lui, avec des personnages qui lui sont chers: ours, souris, petites princesses, lapins, lune, soleil... Grâce à ce livre, les parents trouveront un support pour aborder les soucis quotidiens des enfants. Ils puiseront dans les pages "Côté parents" des éléments de réflexion pour mieux les comprendre." -- 4e de couvThe hero Beowulf
