About this book
What does a year mean when you’re very young?
In 24 images, Bernadette Gervais tells the story of the time between two large birthday cakes: the first opens the book with three
candles, the second closes it with four.
Between the two, a window and a table edge form the fixed frame of life passing by inside and outside: the seasons, the light, the colours, like a child’s daily life through their leisure activities, meals, moods...• A sensitive book making the concept of the passing of time easier for a 3-year-old to understand.
• An invitation to develop one’s imagination by inventing stories and discovering words.
• Each spread shows the transformations of nature over time and encourages readers to observe them in their own environment.AWARDS
