'Jean-Blaise, le chat qui se prenait pour un oiseau' d'Emilie Bore & Vincent

9/20/2022

 
Picture
En apparence, Jean-Blaise a tout d’un chat : de grands yeux verts, un petit nez rose, de longues moustaches, une barbichette noire et des chaussettes blanches. Mais au fond de lui, il se sent plutôt comme un oiseau. Il secoue ses pattes à la manière des canards, grimpe en haut des arbres, se prend pour un pinson chanteur, s’élance même, convaincu de pouvoir voler… avant de s’écraser lamentablement dans un massif de tulipes perroquet. Alors, Jean-Blaise, désespérant de voir aboutir un jour ses rêves, s’en va piteusement errer à travers les rues, lui, autrefois adulé et désormais vilipendé, rejeté de tous comme un vulgaire « sac à puces ».

'The Ogress and the Orphans' by Kelly Barnhill

9/5/2022

 
Picture
Stone-in-the-Glen has fallen on hard times. Fires, floods, and other calamities have caused the people to lose their library, their school, their park, and even their neighborliness. The people put their faith in the Mayor, a dazzling fellow who promises he alone can help. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer. Only the clever children of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress at the edge of town can see how dire the town’s problems are.  One day a child goes missing from the Orphan House. At the Mayor’s suggestion, all eyes turn to the Ogress. The Orphans know this can’t be: the Ogress, along with a flock of excellent crows, secretly delivers gifts to the people of Stone-in-the-Glen.  But how can the Orphans tell the story of the Ogress’s goodness to people who refuse to listen?
