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.

En route ! nous propose un regard contemplatif et tout en poésie sur les chemins qui jalonnent nos vies. Sur…
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.

Even for an experienced traveler like Charlie, Cuba is a place unlike any he has visited before — an island…
full of surprises, secrets and puzzling contradictions. When Charlie’s artist mother is invited to visit a school in Cuba, the whole family goes along on the trip. But the island they discover is a far cry from the all-inclusive resorts that Charlie has heard his friends talk about. Charlie has never visited a country as strange and puzzling as Cuba — a country where he often feels like a time traveler. Where Havana’s grand Hotel Nacional sits next to buildings that seem to be crumbling before his very eyes. Where the streets are filled with empty storefronts and packs of wild dogs, but where flowers and sherbet-colored houses may lie around the next corner, and music is everywhere. Where there are many different kinds of walls — from Havana’s famous sea wall to the invisible ones that seem aimed at keeping tourists and locals apart. Then the family heads “off the beaten track,” traveling by hot, dusty bus to Viñales, where Charlie makes friends with Lázaro, who often flies from Miami to visit his Cuban relatives. The boys ride a horse bareback, find a secret cache of rifles inside a little green mountain and go swimming with small albino fish in an underground cave. A rent-a-wreck takes the family into the countryside, where they find an abandoned hotel inhabited by goats, and a modern resort filled with tourists. And as he goes from one strange and marvelous escapade to another, Charlie finds that his expectations about a place and its people are overturned again and again.

year they’re going to visit Africa. Arinze and Cheta have never visited Africa, but they’ve grown up listening to their parents talk about the wonders of the great continent. Starting in Kenya, Arinze’s family travels to ten African countries, demonstrating how vibrant and multifaceted the African landscape and cultures really are. They get to go on safari, gaze with wonder on Victoria Falls and Mount Kilimanjaro, and explore the continent’s architectural and historical wonders.

Illustrated with vibrant photographs of the sights, animals, and places Arinze and Cheta see on their vacation, My Africa Vacation teaches children of all backgrounds of Africa’s diversity and richness—and encourages them to one day take their own trips to a continent unlike any other.
