A Chinese-American family is driving through cornfields somewhere in Ohio when the parents see watercress on the side of the road. “As soon as they get out of the car, they extract from the bottom of the trunk a brown paper bag, rusty scissors, and their nostalgia for China.” If the son takes pleasure in harvesting the plant, his sister is ashamed. In the evening, while they are gathered around a dish of watercress, she sulks and demands vegetables bought at the store, complains about everything that is salvaged: clothes, furniture, etc. The mother will have to tell the story of her family’s journey so that the child becomes aware of what her ancestors went through. She will say to herself: “from the taste of this watercress, we have made a new memory.” This magnificent album was awarded the Caldecott Medal.

This morning, everything is silent and it’s cold. Alexandre is reluctant to get up. Her mother then arouses her curiosity when through the window she sees white rabbits falling from the sky. Rabbits?! Quickly, Alexandre joins her. He eats his breakfast, dresses warmly and goes out to take a closer look. There are rabbits everywhere, more and more, to the point that the little boy can no longer count them. What joy! Later, it’s time to go home. In a cozy atmosphere, a hot meal brings the family together. Merry Christmas, Alexander! This stuffed rabbit, at the foot of the tree, is for you. A delicious album to rejoice in snow and the holidays.

Little man goes out into the street for his evening walk. He comes across a lady with her dog, two friends happy to meet, runners, a family… so many people that we find gathered on a double page that unfolds: “Everyone likes to be here, in the street. » Another title in this new series takes place “In the Park”. There too, living together in public space is celebrated. Childish, the cut-out paper illustrations are cheerful and colorful.
