de Jacominus Gainsborough
A unique fresco to celebrate the joy of being alive!
With its 12 scenes following seasons, with 3 intermissions and 9 portraits of the
hero, this picture book tells the story of a life. Small things, great moments, joy,
sadness, doubts, ordeals... And, in the end, the luck of having been loved, the
proudness of having done one’s best, and the happiness of contemplating, at the
twilight of life, one’s grand-children around us. «And then he thought that life
was worth living it.»
The hero of this book is not the strongest or the biggest, he might even be a bit
weaker than the other ones. But he is so heart-moving! All of the characters of

Mademoiselle Mangetou
January 2020
A colourful and tasty mini pop-up book for little hands!
Miss Mangetou, the pretty green and blue caterpillar, is hungry; she makes her way
across the garden (and the book, as if she were going through the pages) and tastes
a strawberry here, a wooden toy there, a cream puff or even a piece of cheese. Too
sweet, too hard, too soft, too rich… Nothing hits the spot! Until she finds a big,
fresh leaf. Yum! Just right. And crunch! Miss Mangetou enjoys every bite!
The caterpillar is presented in 3D, in the form of a very original accordion pop-up
that little hands will love to handle. A feast for the eyes and fun learning from 2
years old onwards!
ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Nuit polaire
A story about friendship and helping each other, soft and beautiful like a
Christmas night…
Picture books
Aku lives alone in the north of the north of the known world, where the sun almost
never rises in winter. One day, he sees a strange little glow between the trees that
seems to be calling to him. Curious, he decides to go and see. He walks slowly
through the deep snow. Suddenly, two shiny eyes stop him. They belong to a fox
who decides to accompany him along his quest. Followed by an owl, a reindeer, a
bear, a dog…
They struggle forward through the biting cold, but the new friends do not lose
heart. After a magical night, they share a sweet time in the warmth of Aku’s house,
where his lucky star (for that’s what it is) has finally brought them all together.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
