Marianne Dubuc
A look at the hilarious and unpredictable lives of a host of little garden creatures who become increasingly concerned when a mysterious seed appears – and with each page, continues to grow…
One morning, a seed suddenly and unexpectedly appears in the garden that Jack and his friends call home. The seed starts to grow, sprouting a stem, leaves, and roots… Yvette the mole, Colette the ant, and the Mole family are all convinced that the seed spells disaster. As its roots continue to spread, ceilings crack and paths become unwalkable, the inhabitants of the garden make a bold decision – they are going to cut the plant down! Thankfully, Jack intervenes – what if the plant is not that bad, after all?
17
Each new page invites the reader to study how a germinating seed transforms into a plant. All explored in Marianne Dubuc’s rich and remarkable style!

How scary! Mummy sits down on a bench – she finally has the time to give her little boy a cuddle.

Every night, Jean dreams of a wolf chasing him, eager to gobble him up – and he has had enough! ‘Does the wolf really want to eat you, though?’ Daddy asks. ‘Breathe,’ says Mummy, ‘relax. Maybe the wolf is scared. He may think a little boy wants to catch and hurt him!’ Perhaps one night, Jean and the wolf will meet, and they will become friends… That would be amazing!

Vous volez au-dessus des jardins et des maisons puis l’oiseau se pose enfin sur un grand arbre touffu. Il s’enfonce dans l’épais feuillage. Tu le suis et tu entends de tout petits cui-cui. Tu le découvres en train de donner à manger à trois oisillons. Ils ouvrent le bec avec gourmandise.
Quand le repas est terminé, l’oiseau couvre tendreme nt ses petits avec ses ailes. Chut, les oisillons dorment .
Il est temps pour toi aussi de regagner ton nid. Tu sautilles sur une branche, tu recommences à battre des ailes puis tu t’envoles. Tu fais des grands piqués vers le bas, tes yeux coulent tellement tu vas vite ! Tu remontes d’un coup très haut vers le soleil. Tu t’amuses à traverser les nuages blancs, c’est comme rentrer dans de la barbe à papa. Le vent frais fouette tes joues et te décoiffe.

CRONOS EST LE PLUS JEUNE DES DOUZE TITANS, FILS D’OURANOS ET DE GAÏA. IL SE RÉVOLTE CONTRE SON PÈRE, PREND SA PLACE ET RÈGNE SUR L’UNIVERS. IL ÉPOUSE SA SŒUR, RHÉA.
Dotés d’un œil unique au milieu du front, les trois Cyclopes sont les enfants d’Ouranos et de Gaïa, les frères des Géants et des Titans.
Ouranos, puis Cronos les enchaînent lors des grandes guerres des origines. Zeus les libère et ils créent pour lui la foudre. Les Cyclopes deviennent ensuite les assistants d’Héphaïstos, le dieu forgeron. Pour éviter d’être à son tour détrôné, Cronos mange ses enfants dès leur naissance. Il avale ainsi HESTIA, DÉMÉTER, HÉRA, HADÈS et POSÉIDON. Mais à la naissance de Zeus, Rhéa remplace le bébé par une pierre enveloppée de langes. Cronos l’engloutit sans se méfier. Zeus grandit à l’écart. Une fois adulte, il force son père à rendre ses premiers-nés. Zeus chasse Cronos et devient le maître du monde.
CRONOS SYMBOLISE LE TEMPS, QUI DÉVORE SES PROPRES ENFANTS.

Comment sait-on que les dinosaures ont existé ? Parce qu’ils ont laissé des traces : par exemple, des os. Enfouis dans la terre pendant des millions d’années, ces os se sont peu à peu transformés en pierre pour devenir… des fossiles.
Les fossiles permettent aux paléontologues, les spécialistes des dinosaures, de savoir à quoi ressemblaient ces reptiles, mais aussi comment ils se déplaçaient ou ce qu’ils mangeaient.
La découverte de nids fossilisés nous renseigne sur la façon dont les dinosaures élevaient leurs petits.
En examinant les empreintes de pas fossilisées, on peut estimer la taille des dinosaures et leur vitesse de déplacement.

The bestselling fantasy series for 10 year-olds!
Now also available in comic format!
Evilferno is a fast paced thrilling fantasy series for middlegraders, full of adventure, magical creatures and mystery.
In the second cycle (volumes 4 and 5), our two caracters have left the earth to face further challenges in the magical lands after their childhood village has been completely destroyed.
As the forest of Evilferno is growing and threatening to submerge the village of Wallangar, 10 year-old Zoe and her 14 year old brother Gabriel are left on their own by their parents who have gone to seek help. As the story develops both Zoe and Gabriel discover they have magical abilities which they learn to master: Zoe has powerful visions and Gabriel has an intriguing connection with Dragons which he will have to conquer as he will face Evilferno on his own in a terrible battle. In the third volume, our two heros are confronted with a terrible army threatening to whipe out the whole region. As the series evolves, Zoe and Gabriel realise how powerful they are and their vision of the world changes. The most difficult part for them will be to accept their true nature. It is the end of childhood and the beginning of adolescence. If Evilferno is a series about love and friendship it is above all a story about tolerance and the respect of differences.

The novel is set in a future where human beings have returned to a primitive way of living. In this new setting, humans coexist with the Yokaïs, powerful creatures who are able to change from a human form into wild animals. The Yokaïs have taken control of all scientific and technical knowledge after what is called “ the chaos”, the violent and long war which changed all territorial and relational dynamics.

d
and Bregan from the Taïgans arrive, they instinctively join in the battle. Angry and troubled by this attack our four heros decide to make a pact to discover who is behind the attack.
The Yokaïs are divided into four species of animals. The Lupaïs is the tribe of wolves, the Taïgans the tribe of tigers, the Raspaïs the tribe of eagles and the Serpaïs the tribe of snakes. The four clans hate one other but they have a common goal which is to prevent humans from regaining the power they had prior to the chaos. To ensure this, the Yokaïs have established a certain number of strict rules.
MAYA: 16 year old - Heiress to the Lupaïs tribe, she is determined to protect her clan but also to preserve peace. She is often in disagreement with the chief warriors of her tribe. She is pale with white hair and blue eyes and transforms into a fierce golden-eyed wolf with white fur.
Aside the neutral territories where the humans live and which the Yokaïs can also access, there are four dominant kingdoms. Each of the Yokaïs has its own leader and a ruling board. The boards have agreed that the members of the different tribes should not speak to each other, and that no Yokaïs should cross the borders into a territory that isn’t his.
BREGAN: 16 years old -Future king of the Taïgans. He is a very strong and powerful tiger, who has suffered a lot in his childhood during the war in which he lost his father. He is intelligent and aware of the Yokaïs and human dynamics. He has long braided hair, green eyes and a tiger tattoo on the arm. WAN: Future leader of the Serpaïs. He has black hair and thin purple eyes. He is provocative and cruel. As a snake he is quick to poisons his victims. He is cunning and likes to trick his enemies. When Nel is injured he is prompt to act as he cannot bear that another Yokaïs should be injured by a human, even if it is a Yokaïs from an enemy tribe.
The starting point of the story takes place in a school in neutral territory, which many young Yokaïs attend to better their understanding of humans. It is in this school that the heirs to the four tribes have been sent. They natural behavior towards one another is one of defiance and ruthlessness as they struggle to control their animosity towards one another.
NEL: 12 year-old- Daughter of the queen of the Rapaïs, she is very mature and a strategic thinker, despite her young age. She is blond and has deep black eyes which express all the rationality of her nature. Her hatred of humans is strong and she prefers to be in her eagle form high up in the skies. She is well respected by the other heirs who hold her in awe.
But everything changes one particular morning when a large group of armed men open fire on a school killing and injuring many. 12 year-old Nel, heir to the Raspaïs has received a bullet. Maya future leader of the Raspaïs screams to her pack to attack the armed men and kill them brutally. As Wan from the Serpaïs

Adeline Regnault
The events of May 1968, as seen through the diary of Madeleine, a student at the Sorbonne…
Dissent spreads and Madeleine becomes actively involved – and also finds time to negotiate her first romantic encounters while dealing with being away from her family.
September 1967. With her Baccalauréat under her belt, Madeleine arrives in Paris to start her literature degree. As she begins making the most of her new life, her time at university is thrown into chaos – there is no money in the administration’s coffers, the government has been publically rejected and there are protests against western imperialism and the Vietnam War…
This is the story of the interplay between a pivotal period in history and Madeleine’s gradual journey towards self-discovery and the development of her own feminist principles. Key texts and posters from May 1968 illustrate the narrative, with an accompanying fact-filled history guide giving readers a comprehensive insight into the period.

from 13 years old
Bertrand Puard’s latest trilogy takes the reader on an ultra-contemporary thrill ride through an international network of maximum-security secret locations.
This is the hell into which sixteen-year-old Yann Rodin, who steadfastly maintains his innocence, is thrown. He has found himself on the wrong end of a highly lucrative business venture masterminded by a former director of the French Secret Service – an identity-switching operation. For a few million dollars, Anton Pavlovitch, a powerful French-Russian arms trader whom Interpol are hunting, has bought his son Sacha, who looks exactly like Yann, a peaceful continued existence. While Yann is tried and sent to Thule for crimes he has never committed, Sacha adopts his former life, discovering what the simplicity and tranquillity of living on the Eden that is the Île de Porquerolles on France’s Côte d’Azur – far removed from the violence and corrupt business practices of his father – really means.
2019. Three islands somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, a thousand miles from Antarctica. Freezing polar temperatures, an arid landscape and a chain of volcanoes that threaten to erupt at any moment. Previously known as Southern Thule, this is the location where G8 leaders have chosen to join forces to create a series of impregnable maximum-security prisons. The world’s most dangerous criminals are sent to live out the rest of their lives in these infernal conditions, joined by civilians with compromising secrets, people whom it is useful to keep at a distance...

The second part of the brilliant series illustrated by Bruno Heitz.
Léonard de Vinci étudie le corps humain pour comprendre son fonctionnement interne, comme son apparence extérieure. Son but : savoir le dessiner parfaitement.
Et là les poumons.
Ici le cœur…
Il veut aussi écrire un traité d’anatomie. Au passage, il réalise d’importantes découvertes.
Pour Léonard, l’invention est plus importante que l’exécution. Avant de commencer un tableau, il effectue de nombreuses recherches, dessine des croquis… De telles études le passionnent.
Léonard assimile les innovations de l’Europe du Nord : le paysage en arrière-plan, la position du corps de trois quarts, les mains bien visibles.
Les yeux de Mona Lisa semblent regarder au-delà du spectateur. Elle est à la fois très présente et ailleurs.
En 1499, après plusieurs tentatives, l’armée du roi de France s’empare de Milan. Le duc Sforza doit s’enfuir.
Léonard invente la technique du « sfumato » : les contours sont légèrement flous pour adoucir les lignes et donner un effet vaporeux. Pour cela, il superpose plusieurs couches ultrafines de vernis.
What is Art? How did the earliest works come about? Why some survived the centuries while other have been long forgotten? How did their creators live and work?
Donc le cœur, qui se trouve à gauche, envoie comme une pompe le sang dans les Et artères. l’âme ?
En Flandres, au nord de l’Europe, s’est développé le goût pour les portraits peints. Les Italiens imitent les Flamands. Après les princes, ce sont les riches marchands qui commandent leurs portraits. En 1503, Francesco del Giocondo rend visite à Léonard.
Accurate, vivid, full of details, brilliantly brought to life by Bruno Heitz, The History of Art in a graphic novel format is a vast journey through time exploring artistic creation, its works and their artists.
Oui, tournez encore un peu la tête, la main sur l’autre, souriez légèrement…
Léonard de Vinci quitte Milan pour chercher ailleurs des mécènes.
Adieu Milan…
Je retourne chez moi, à Florence.
Elle n’est pas si belle que ça, ta Mona Lisa. Mais tout le monde la connaît. Pourquoi ?
Je souhaite vous commander le portrait de mon épouse bien-aimée, Mona Lisa Gherardini, pour notre nouvelle demeure. Un portrait privé… pourquoi pas ? Si c’est payé rubis sur l’ongle…
Léonard n’a jamais été payé pour ce tableau qu’il a conservé toute sa vie. Quand il er meurt en France en 1519, le roi François I l’achète. Aujourd’hui, on vient du monde entier pour le voir au musée du Louvre.
La Joconde fascine. Est-ce son sourire ? Mystère !

À Munich, le Russe Kandinsky* rejoint le Cavalier bleu. À 30 ans, il veut être peintre, mais aussi théoricien de l’art. Il publie des livres pour démontrer que l’art authentique est inséparable d’une démarche spirituelle.

À Paris aussi, les artistes se regroupent. Plusieurs travaillent à Montmartre. Arrivé de Barcelone, un jeune peintre s’y installe en 1905.
Adieu paysages ou portraits. L’art doit exprimer nos visions intérieures !
Je suis Pablo Ruiz Picasso*. Enchanté. Moi c’est Apollinaire, poète. Bienvenue au BateauLavoir, Pablo !
On se passionne pour les œuvres de Cézanne et des peintres fauves, on poursuit leurs recherches. Viens, Braque, allons chez Vollard, il expose Cézanne.
Kandinsky et les artistes du Cavalier bleu veulent établir des liens entre peinture et musique, car celle-ci parvient à exprimer directement les sentiments de l’âme humaine. La peinture ne « représente » alors plus rien de réel, elle est abstraite.
Voici ma Composition VII ! Les couleurs sont musique, la musique est émotion, l’art est pensée.
À Londres, André Derain découvre l’art des continents lointains : l’Afrique, l’Océanie... Voilà l’art pur, l’art des premiers hommes !
VOL. 3 TO COME IN OCTOBER 2018: Vous entendez la vibration des couleurs ?
MONET AND THE IMPRESSIONIST
Cézanne est un maître. Il réinvente la peinture.
J’arrive, Pablo.
Nourri par ces découvertes, Picasso peint en 1907 les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Le tableau surprend par sa force d’impact et sa nouveauté.
Les corps déformés sont dessinés à angle vif et vus sous plusieurs facettes. On perd ses repères.
Révolutionnaire ! Une page se tourne !
Qui sont ces demoiselles derrière leur masque ? *Pablo Picasso, peintre espagnol (1881-1973).
*Vassily Kandinsky, peintre russe (1866-1944). 78

L’évolution De la naissance de la Terre à nos jours
How was Earth formed? How did life first appear on our planet? What mechanisms underpin different species’ evolution? Through engaging and entertaining conversations between a range of characters (a man who can’t stop repeating common misconceptions about evolution, two children with a lot of questions and a scientist who certainly knows her stuff), this graphic novel shows us the different forms that life has taken throughout the ages. This in-depth look at the story of a wide variety of animals makes natural history more fun than ever with delightful illustrations!
Merlin the Wizard, King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Percival and the Lady of the Lake… The incredible epic story of the knights of the Round Table is full of legendary heroes. From the characters’ mythical origins – covering their births and the founding of the Kingdom of Loegria – to the outcome of the mystical quest to find the Grail, this comic-book retelling of the highlights of their story makes their tales of adventure-filled chivalry and magical fantasy accessible to everyone. The perfect format for introducing younger readers to a story that is rich in cultural significance!
