There are magic words... they are not very big but they have amazing powers! Some of them make you smile, reassure you, encourage you, open your heart... For that, you have to know how to use them at the right time!

A real little manual of good manners to facilitate exchanges, fluidify communication or resolve conflicts. Little words for everyday life, to feel good and do good!

Huge, big, small, tiny... To know the size of a person, an object, a thing... you have to measure. Yes, ok ! But how to represent a micron, a millimeter... a centimeter?

That's easy! A micron is so tiny that you can't see it with the naked eye, you need a powerful microscope! A millimeter is the size of a grain of sand...

Using sensitive and funny examples chosen at the level of a child, this book brings the abstract notions of measurement and distance within reach of the youngest.

"Every day, in my head, in my body and in my heart, it's a whirlwind of emotions."

Are you ready to take a tour of twelve emotions that can shake us daily: wonder, anger, fear, pride, sadness, impatience, excitement, embarrassment, surprise, jealousy, joy, or even serenity?

Let's go to the assault of these impalpable and confused feelings!

Children are also invited to recognize the attitudes or mimics associated with each emotion, so they can put words to what they may feel.

When a child learns that they are going to become a big sister or big brother, a thousand thoughts rush through their head. How did the baby get there? What happens in Mummy's tummy for nine months? And how will the baby come out?

Then, as the arrival approaches, the questions become deeper: Will my parents still love me as much? What will my role be with the baby?

With great gentleness and tenderness, this book accompanies children on this great adventure! It explains all the stages of conceiving a baby, from birth to coming home, answering their questions and reassuring them.

Talking about death with children is always sensitive! We don't always find the right words to express ourselves and comfort them... Yet, death is a part of life. All living beings live and die... That's how the cycle of life is perpetuated for generations. How are old people cared for at the end of their lives? What's going on when we lose our parents? Is there only way to react to a loved one's death? Each person lives their grief differently: some like to be alone, others need to be reassured by a group to share their sadness or think about good memories. Everything also depends on one's culture and beliefs... One thing is certain: death scares us much less when we talk about it!

Without taking a precise example, Rhéa Dufresne approaches the subject with softness and delicacy. She brings a tender and universal point of view, that'll allow each reader to identify themselves and find comfort.

"Wait a minute!"

"In a week, it's the holidays."

"You'll spend half a day at grandma's."

As many abstract notions for little ones... This book will help them evaluate the duration thanks to concrete markers for them: a second is the time to make a kiss; a minute is the time to lick 10 fingers full of chocolate; a year is the time where we blow a candle at the end.

For some children, making contact is very easy and they always manage to find playmates quickly. But others are more shy and prefer to observe before joining in the games. And that's not a problem! When it comes to friendship, everyone has their own pace...

There is no norm in friendship! And that's what makes it so rich. You might enjoy playing with lots of friends at once, but the next day, you might prefer to spend time alone with your best friend. Whether it's with friends you've known for a day or friends you've known forever, you might argue. But when you talk about it and apologise, you can make up!

Because deep down, what is a friend? Well, simply someone you enjoy spending time with!
