For the little ones: Pauline hates spelling
Nose droppings easily make children laugh. In this very comical album, we meet René, “a pretty motton from Morve” which hangs from Pauline’s nostril. The mother’s mother would like to make him disappear, but the child prevents her. A book all in humor which still contains relevant information on the usefulness of René and his fellow men.
René my nose can. Text by Marie-Eve Leclerc-Dion, illustrations by Stéphanie Savard. Éditions Québec America. From 3 years old. In bookstores from January 28.

Extract from On the spectrum – tome 1, Agathe and Victorfrom Catherine Bourgault
Mother of two autistic boys and another with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, the author Catherine Bourgault was inspired by her children to create the series On the spectrum. In this first volume which transports the reader to a respite house for adolescents, we plunge into the head of Victor, a young autistic for whom everyday life often brings too much stimuli. We also follow Agathe’s thoughts, a neurotypical teenager who will develop a special friendship with this new resident. A novel that allows you to better understand the realities of people living with a disorder of the autism spectrum.
On the spectrum – tome 1, Agathe and Victorby Catherine Bourgault. Les Malins editions. From 9 years old.

Two extracts from the comic strip Little little -known trades. Text by Vincent Zabus, illustrated by a collective of designers.
Impossible not to smile while reading this little comic book. The scriptwriter Vincent Zabus imagined a host of trades which, if they existed, would bring a balm on the lives of people. From the scaper of regrets, which makes the sorrows disappear, to the restaurateur of memories, who brings back significant moments, about fifteen jobs are explored in this book illustrated by as many designers. An ode to living together that warms the heart.
Little little -known trades. Text by Vincent Zabus, illustrated by a collective of designers. Dupuis editions. From 12 years old.

Where do the cabbage, carrot and artichoke come from? Why do we cry when cutting onions? How long has you been eating potatoes in Quebec? Very instructive, this documentary presents a panoply of information on vegetables and their history. It also provides a nuanced answer to the famous question: is tomato a fruit or a vegetable? A book to slide in the hands of curious children to learn more about food.
