Question: Do you like seeing animals in books? Or
What are you reading?
My comments
Are you ready for an explanation of economics and friendship meant for a child to understand? I was surprised to see some explanatory material about money in the last two pages of the book. More than anything, I think the authorâs and the illustratorâs treatment of the relationships is what made me smile as I read.
I borrowed this book through @lomitalibrary, a part of @lacountylibrary.
Summary from the publisher
Discover how one individual impacts her community economically and how YOU can too in this inspiring story about a farmer and her friends!
Farmer Franâs community depends on her. She collects the eggs, milks the cows, picks the vegetables, and delivers everything to her customers, keeping the neighborhood going! Then a storm hits, destroying the farm, and Farmer Fran has to lean on her neighbors in her time of need. The town creates a fundrasier for her and Farmer Fran learns the true value of community.
For fans of Richard Scarry, here is a gentle introduction to the concept of money and community, using heartwarming animal characters, from a New York Times bestselling illustrator.

đ§Ą Coup de coeur livresque de la semaine đ§Ą
đ Attraper ses rĂȘves - Comment ajouter de lâaudace Ă la vie
âïž Kobi Yamada @livethegoodstuff
đ§âđš Charles Santoso @charlessantoso
đ Ăditions Le Lotus & le petit Ă©lĂ©phant
@lelotusetlepetitelephant
Il y a des albums que lâon ouvre en pensant quâil sâadresse Ă un enfant⊠et qui nous accompagnent longtemps aprĂšs avoir refermĂ© leurs pages.
Attraper ses rĂȘves fait partie de ceux-lĂ .
Dâabord, il y a les illustrations de Charles Santoso.
Elles sont absolument sublimes ! Un petit raton laveur super attachant, des crayonnĂ©s dâune finesse incroyable, une atmosphĂšre pleine de douceur et de dĂ©licatesse. Chaque page est une invitation Ă sâattarder, Ă observer, Ă sâĂ©merveiller.
Et puis il y a les mots de Kobi Yamada. Des mots forts, qui nous invitent à réfléchir à nos envies, à nos aspirations et à la place que nous souhaitons leur donner dans nos vies.
Car cet album, si lâon pense quâil sâadresse aux enfants par ses illustrations, parle finalement Ă tous les enfants de 99 ans et moins ! đ
Il nous rappelle combien il est prĂ©cieux de construire sa vie autour de ce qui nous anime vraiment, de ce en quoi nous croyons. Dâoser, mĂȘme lorsque le chemin semble incertain. De croire en ses forces, dâaccepter de se tromper, de recommencer et dâĂȘtre fier de ce que lâon accomplit.
Il nous encourage Ă ne pas laisser nos rĂȘves dormir dans un coin de notre tĂȘte, mais Ă leur donner une place, Ă les faire grandir et Ă nous donner les moyens de les rĂ©aliser.
Et si, finalement, le bonheur se trouvait aussi lĂ ?
Dans cette libertĂ© de choisir son chemin, de suivre ce qui nous fait vibrer et de donner du sens Ă ce que lâon construit.
Une trĂšs belle invitation Ă oser ĂȘtre pleinement soi, Ă croire en ses possibles et Ă ne jamais cesser de rĂȘver.
Un album lumineux, aussi beau Ă regarder quâĂ mĂ©diter, que je suis heureuse dâavoir dĂ©couvert grĂące aux Ă©ditions Le lotus & le petit Ă©lĂ©phant que je remercie chaleureusement. Un album que je garderai prĂ©cieusement dans notre bibliothĂšque.
Livre offert. Merci âșïž

đ¶đ đ¶đđđđđ, do premiado autor Kobi Yamada e com ilustraçÔes de Charles Santoso, Ă© um livro relevante numa altura em que a tendĂȘncia para ver os outros como âdiferentesâ Ă© muito frequente. Com sensibilidade e clareza, os autores criam uma forma acessĂvel de iniciar conversas com os mais novos sobre identidade, empatia e a importĂąncia de realmente vermos quem nos rodeia.
JĂĄ nas livrarias!

đ E se descobrĂssemos que somos mais parecidos do que pensamos? | Os Outros: uma histĂłria para todos nĂłs
Hoje, 20 de outubro, assinala-se o Dia Mundial de Combate ao Bullying, uma oportunidade para refletirmos sobre a importùncia do respeito, da empatia e da aceitação das diferenças.
âOs Outros: uma histĂłria para todos nĂłsâ da autoria de Kobi Yamada @livethegoodstuff , com ilustraçÔes de Charles Santoso @charlessantoso e editado por FĂĄbula , uma chancela da Penguin @penguinkidspt Ă© um livro que nos faz olhar para alĂ©m das aparĂȘncias e a questionar as ideias que criamos sobre quem nĂŁo conhecemos.
Do outro lado de uma sebe estão «os outros» e dois amigos tentam imaginar quem são. Um parece ter a certeza de que são diferentes, estranhos e que não pertencem ao seu mundo, enquanto o outro prefere fazer perguntas, procurar compreender e descobrir o que realmente os distingue.
à medida que vão conversando, as certezas vão dando lugar à curiosidade e os estereótipos começam a perder força.
E começamos entĂŁo a perceber que aquilo que nos aproxima pode ser muito maior do que aquilo que nos separa.đ„°
Sem dĂșvida que esta histĂłria nos vai ajudar a abordar um tema bastante relevante, que Ă© a dificuldade que por vezes surge em aceitar quem consideramos diferente.
Os preconceitos, os rótulos e a exclusão magoam, por isso é importante ensinar as crianças a questionar julgamentos, a respeitar as diferenças e a procurar conhecer verdadeiramente os outros de forma a promover relaçÔes mais saudåveis.
.
.
Educar para a empatia começa nas pequenas conversas, nas perguntas que fazemos e na forma como escolhemos olhar para os outros, nĂŁo Ă© verdade? â€ïž
