Bøker av Jean-Francois Senechal

A heartwarming introduction to reading for kids ages three and up about how even solitary beings need people too, from Jean-François Sénéchal and Pascale Bonenfant Anyone can make it on their own-just ask Colette! She's a solitary bee who enjoys her own company more than anyone else's and thrives on her independence. Colette can do just about anything by herself: day-to-day tasks, cleverly navigating the elements, and even setting out on solo adventures. But sometimes, even the most solitary bees need other insects around-like when things don't go as planned, or when they've simply got a good story to tell. Colette: The Solitary Bee is an adorable, heartwarming tale that shows us we can be proud to do things by ourselves, but it's also pretty great to share our lived experiences with those around us.

A potent story about the power of talking through our fears to set ourselves free of them, from award-winning creators Jean-François Sénéchal and Simone Rea Our fears can consume the entirety of our lives-unless we find ways to free ourselves of them. As a young rabbit tries to fall asleep one night, kept awake by the trauma of his family's past life in a war-torn region, he replays scenes in his head of an entirely new battle: being attacked by bullies the previous day at school. While his mother tries to encourage him to open up about the incident, he hesitates, instead questioning whether he possesses enough courage. It's only through addressing the root of his fears, a process that is never easy, that he understands how to free himself and move forward.

Losing someone you love, someone close to you, can be difficult to talk about. But, sometimes, writing a letter can help you find the words you wish you could say. That's exactly what a young fox realizes one morning after learning about the death of his beloved grandmother, someone with whom he shared so many special memories. As he longingly searches for any trace of her presence in all their familiar haunts, the young fox soon discovers that only by embracing his grief will the right words-the words he wishes he could say to grandmother-come to him.
