Ages 3 & Up

M eet the Pops: curious Mimimouse, boastful Rorylion, grumpy Grumblebunny, and Zebrazilly

the dreamer. Together they have fun adventures and step-by-step experience the joys and challenges of life among friends. Each story presents an important theme which reflects the concerns of children aged 2-4 – sharing, overcoming conflict, facing fears together – in their own world, without the mediation of adults and guiding them towards independence!

A playful new collection introducing little ones to the body and the senses.

L isten: each nursery rhyme-style story can be read aloud. Look: there is much to observe in the sweet and colourful scenery and animal characters.

Touch: by lifting flaps and touching materials, young readers interact with the story. Imitate: each page invites children to recreate the actions of the characters: through cuddles with mommy or tickles with daddy, they gradually discover their own body and all the senses.

A new collection teaching young children how to get along.

A smart and graphic approach to the compelling theme of Before and After.

O bjects, events, landscapes and human beings are working in pairs, facing

each other or in subsequent double spreads showing two states of the same reality. The absence of text incites the reader to imagine, understand and recount the story of these changes. Before and After is both an interactive reading experience and a time-related work of imagination.

A masterly adaptation of the famous love tragedy by bestselling author Benjamin Lacombe.

S et in an antiquated Japan, the tragic story of Madame Butterfly is beautifully rendered here

through Benjamin Lacombe’s illustrations. The tale is told to us by Pinkerton, the American officer filled with remorse for breaking the wings of his delicate butterfly woman Cho-Cho-San, a Japanese Geisha who gave birth to his son once he had already set sail. With its large-scale format, precious paper and accordion-style binding that unfolds into a 10 m long panel, this beautifully produced book makes an amazing case for Benjamin Lacombe’s gorgeous oil paintings and exquisite ink frescos.
