One hundred and seven children from the Émile-Chenon school, in Sainte-Sévère, from kindergarten to CM2, voted for their favorite book on the occasion of Escapages, the Indre departmental literary prize. “We worked on vocabulary and understanding, reports Sébastien Laporte, the teacher for the large kindergarten section and the first grade of the establishment. For the little ones, reading was collective. The older children took the books home. »
Girded with the tricolor scarf, the mayor of the commune François Daugeron saw in this annual literary event the opportunity to combine it with a civic action coupled with a little lesson in democracy by inviting the children to cast their ballot in a ballot box installed in town hall. “The vote is discreet and personal, it is your choice, not that of the boyfriend or girlfriend, he addressed the little Severans. The winning book is the one chosen by the greatest number of people; it may not be the one you chose. » For the record, the votes went towards Pouet!, My name is Sudan And Kéo and the magic sword.
