Le Départ de Julie
Artist: Réjean RoyPublisher: Bouton d'or Acadie$8.95Du lever au coucher du soleil, Julie vivait son quotidien. Chaque lundi, elle faisait son lavage. Avec la complicité de mère nature et un « Salut, Marie », les nuages gris disparaissaient. Mais un insecte à six pattes l’observait et attendait son heure. Puis, un jour, les draps blancs de Julie furent noirs de fourmis… Mais où emmène-t-on Julie et sa petite ?
Texte poétique magnifiquement illustré. Il a été inspiré par la Déportation des Acadiens de 1755, mais il peut fort bien s’appliquer aux nombreux départs forcés ou déplacements de population actuels.

Dis dix dinosaures / Say Ten Dinosaurs
Artist: Denise PaquettePublisher: Bouton d'or Acadie$8.95This is Bouton d’or Acadie’s first foray into the world of dinosaurs. Dis dix dinosaures steps into a burgeoning world where each page is an opportunity for children to have fun counting and associating details of the images to numbers.

Denise Paquette, one of Acadie’s most seasoned illustrators, had the time of her life with this one. As for the Moncton author Gaëtane Pinet, with such imagination, she makes a striking debut!
