Malala book

Malala’s magic pencil

From 6 years old

Editions Gautier Langereau

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, which she obtained at the age of 17 for her stance on the right to education of which she had been deprived in her country. This Pakistani activist for women’s rights tells her story through an illustrated book, perfectly adapted to children. Over the pages, she confides her dream of having a magic pencil that would allow her to lock the door of her room with a key, to prevent her brothers from coming to bother her. She could also stop time to sleep an extra hour each morning, erase odors from the dump in front of her house, or simply make people happy by drawing objects that have appeared. But the main thing for her would be to change the world, with a real pen, by learning to read and write. An essential and touching book, to put in the hands of all young readers, to make them realize that going to school is an opportunity, which unfortunately is not granted to all children.

Musical book Patrick Bruel

The king who didn’t like music – Book + CD – From 6 to 9 years old

From 6 years old

Editions Gallimard Youth

Parents will love opening the pages of this beautiful book-CD, narrated by an exceptional narrator: Patrick Bruel. This book recounts with tenderness and poetry the universal power of music. Throughout the pages, we discover four musicians who live in the middle of the desert sands. Clarinet, cello, grand piano and violin were their favored instrument. When they played, “the water softened with such beautiful music, the palm trees danced in the wind and the stars seemed to sing with them”. But the King didn’t want to hear a single note of music and began to ban it… Until a little traveler managed to coax him by teaching him to play the drum. A nice story that demonstrates that music softens morals!
