Les couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel
texte, Jennifer Moore-Mallinos
Une collection d'albums invitant les jeunes enfants à réfléchir et à exprimer leurs émotions concernant certaines situations problématiques troublant la quiétude de leur quotidien, tout en proposant à leurs parents quelques pistes pour amorcer le dialogue et stimuler la communication. Ce titre célèbre les différences raciales et morales, en dépit desquelles les êtres humains se ressemblent malgré tout énormément. -- Un bel outil, illustré de charmantes aquarelles. [SDM].
L'Identité
Milan Kundela zhu
Sometimes — perhaps only for an instant — we fail to recognize a companion; for a moment their identity ceases to exist, and thus we come to doubt our own. The effect is at its most acute in a couple, where our existence is given meaning by our perception of a lover, and theirs of us. With his astonishing skill at building on and out from the significant moment, Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of his new novel. In a narrative as intense as it is brief, a moment of confusion sets in motion a complex chain of events which forces the reader to cross and recross the divide between fantasy and reality.
