Leon's Letter

A stylish and fanciful search and find story celebrating inventiveness and multicultural friendships!

 

 

A mysterious letter is sent to nine extraordinary houses (in a tree, in ice, in space, underground, in a palace…) The child must search in each of them where the letter might be.

 

This quest is a pretext to explore the incredible interiors of these habitats, full of whimsical details: a pink flamingo washes its feet, a grandmother plays the trumpet, a robot combs its hair, a penguin thaws a banana with a hair-dryer…

 

But what is the content of this letter? The last spread reveals that all these recipients, from different parts of the world, were invited to the same joyful party!

 

IN THE MEDIA

 

"A great wacky seek and find book! It's fun, with a multitude of details, each more amusing than the last. It's a book for ages 3 and up, since it's a seek-and-find, but I'm sure older kids will enjoy playing along as well. [...] The illustrations are rich and original, colorful, and they immerse us in multiple worlds." — RCF (France & Belgium)
