Abstract: This moving and radiant story of the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter, and the joy and promise passed down between them, begins one quiet dawn . . . On the morning of her eighth birthday, Maude buries a secret at the foot of a flowering dogwood and inside it, a tiny toy elephant, a marble like a tiger's eye, a bird's nest with purple string woven through the twigs, and more.

Abstract: On a morning brimming with possibilities, a gentle narrator muses on everything the day might bring, from work to play to all the little moments in between, like watching clouds and seeing something grow. From small beginnings, the pages begin to hint at life’s larger crescendo moments: days so hard we struggle to bear it, and others that feel exactly right. Then day inevitably turns to night, and for a while, “we are all just hearts beating in the darkness.” This quiet space invites us to be fully present in the moment, feeling whatever we feel; each of us vital, connected, “the same, but exactly different.” As a bright new dawn starts the cycle anew, that truth is a strong and steady pulse beneath the bustle of another busy mornin

Abstract: Comme une ritournelle, les mots de l’autrice invitent le petit lecteur à entrer dans une ronde où chacun cherche qui lui donnera de l’amour. Au fil du texte et des images, une suite tendre et variée d’animaux tous en quête d’amour entraîne finalement le lecteur vers l’ultime question : et lui, qui bercera-t-il ? La variété de la faune (oiseau, souri, sanglier, licorne, renard, loup, chouette, etc.), des pelages et plumages, des tempéraments de couleurs, est réunie dans un même élan de désir affectueux. À pas de velours, la récurrence, qui apaise, y réserve des surprises; agile et gracieuse, la légèreté qui égaie, sonde l’espérance intime et profonde de chacun de nous : être aimé et aimer en retour. Quant à l’image, elle oscille entre l'imagier animalier et le pur imaginaire enfantin.

Abstract: In una sera nebbiosa, lungo strade impastate di fango, Jane Eyre arriva a Thornfield Hall. Ha diciott'anni e non sa che la sua vita è a una svolta. Orfana, è stata allevata da una zia tutt'altro che amorevole e poi mandata in collegio, dov'è rimasta otto anni, prima come allieva, poi come maestra. Il suo carattere forte e indipendente, lo stesso che le ha fatto guadagnare la fama di ragazzina ribelle durante l'infanzia, l'ha spinta a lasciare le pareti opprimenti di Lowood per cercare lavoro come bambinaia, rispondendo al richiamo del mondo. A Thornfield Hall, Jane si occuperà della piccola Adele, la protetta di Mr Rochester, un uomo sui quarant'anni, tratti duri, aspetto autoritario. Per Jane questa nuova casa è una scuola di vita. Conosce l'indipendenza e una tranquillità mai goduta prima. Ma soprattutto conosce l'amore di Mr Rochester. Un amore travolgente, sensuale e inevitabile fin dal primo incontro: Se questo estraneo mi avesse sorriso e fosse stato cordiale con me, se avesse respinto la mia proposta di aiuto con allegria e gentilezza, sarei andata per la mia strada e non mi sarei sentita di fare nuove domande: ma il cipiglio e la ruvidezza del viaggiatore mi misero a mio agio; rimasi dov'ero quando mi fece segno di andarmene. Presto però i sogni di Jane si rivelano impossibili, destinati a farsi soffocare dal passato oscuro di Rochester, quel passato che sempre più forte riecheggia minaccioso... Età di lettura: da 13 anni.
