How do you go about putting together such a book? Jamy:
“First you have to find the theme of each page, the main article and the two or three small complementary articles, which are often side steps. The angle of these articles, the questions that we will ask. Then distribute these themes throughout the year, making sure to respect the seasons. Find the right date for each topic covered.

Who helps you with your research and the creation of the book?
