Both municipalities take part in the Children's Book Festival. Exhibitions, readings and meetings for this 23rd edition.

For more than 20 years, the Occitanie Children's Book Festival in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville has allowed discoveries and meetings between authors and readers, in many towns in Métropole including Aucamville and Fonbeauezard. As part of the 23rd edition, with the theme “Who are these heroes “, the festival will honor the heroes of yesterday and today. Heroes and heroines largely populate the works of children's literature and attract particular attention from young readers. Where does the need come from? of heroes and how do these models contribute to the understanding of the world around young readers? On the program: activities, workshops and exhibitions to discover the work of invited authors and illustrators.

Two meetings in Fonbeauzard

From January 9 to 25, the exhibition room of the Fonbeauzard town hall will host the exhibition by Philippe Jalbert: “Search and find the animals of the forest”, created from illustrations from the book “In the forest seek and find the animals” (Editions Gautier Languereau). Note the opening, in the presence of Philippe Jalbert, Thursday, January 9 at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 15 at 3:00 p.m., André Gentillet room, reading and show “Le Almost Little Red Riding Hood” with the Nansouk company. This will offer a crazy rewriting of the tale. Ruthless creditors come to collect their dues from Charles Perrault. After his furniture they attack his stories. The problem is that Perrault has lost inspiration… (From 5 years old, duration: 45 minutes, free show).

Near the Luciano Sandran media library

In Aucamville, there will be an illustration workshop between the artist and the public present. A total interaction to imagine and create together…So, Saturday January 18 at 2:00 p.m., parents and children will be able to indulge in DIY drawing but also reading, with Séverine Duchesne.

The author and illustrator of children's albums will welcome a group of ten children aged 6 to 8, accompanied by 10 adults. We will return to these meetings in detail in our next editions.
