Chaque année, plus de 400 jeunes d'âge mineur arrivent seuls au Canada pour demander le statut de réfugié. Sans parents.…
Sans adulte pour les accompagner. Seuls raconte le parcours de trois d'entre eux : Afshin, Alain et Patricia. Leur témoignage ouvre une fenêtre sur les nombreux déchirements, les difficiles sacrifices et les innombrables épreuves qui jalonnent ce chemin rempli d'obstacles. Mais surtout, Seuls parle du courage et de la résilience dont ont fait preuve ces jeunes avant de pouvoir, enfin, accéder à une vie où la menace et le danger ne font plus partie du quotidien. Seuls est une adaptation du documentaire du même nom, réalisé par Paul Tom et produit par Picbois Productions , en salles à l'automne 2021 et ensuite diffusé à Télé-Québec. Trois histoires vraies s'entrecroisent au fil des pages, soutenues par les puissantes illustrations de Mélanie Baillairgé. Un documentaire touchant qui sensibilise à une réalité peu connue et qui donne une voix à trois personnes réfugiées.

les voies que l’on choisit et sur les routes que l’on prend. Une invitation à nous arrêter et à profiter pleinement de notre environnement et de tous ces moments qui forment notre quotidien et qui bâtissent nos souvenirs. Oriane Smith signe un album poétique sur le temps qui passe et sur les moments qui font en sorte que nous soyons qui nous sommes. Un album en toute simplicité mis en images par Chloloula qui donne vie à nos routes, à nos villes et aux territoires que nous fréquentons, à l’aide de collages riches en détails. Elle s’amuse à parsemer les illustrations de petits éléments ou de personnages qu’on va recroiser un peu plus tard dans l’album, comme ces gens que l’on croise plus d’une fois dans la vie sans toujours le savoir. Une belle initiation au voyage et à l’art de prendre son temps.

Without risking life or limb, readers can explore the wonders and beauty of the Amazon in this Where Is...? title.Human…
beings have inhabited the banks of the Amazon River since 13,000 BC and yet they make up just a small percentage of the "population" of this geographic wonderland. The Amazon River basin teems with life--animal and plant alike. It's a rainforest that is home to an estimated 390 billion individual trees, 2.5 million species of insects, and hundreds of amazing creatures and plants that can either cure diseases, or, like the poison dart frog, kill with a single touch. Where Is the Amazon? reveals the amazing scale of a single rainforest that we are still trying to understand today and that, in many ways, supports our existence on this planet.
