From the Governor General’s Award-nominated author of Music for Tigers and Girl of the Southern Sea, a passionate story about…
environmental activism, difficult choices, and the cost of doing the right thingBy Mélanie Fortin. 2018
Entassés les uns à côté des autres, la tête penchée pour brouter l'herbe au sol, les moutons du berger ressemblent…
à une véritable couverture de laine, qui comporte cependant un accroc. Une des bêtes, plutôt que de partager le festin de ses congénères, a la tête constamment relevée vers le ciel. Léonard a en effet envie de s'envoler vers des contrées lointaines et de faire des rencontres, l'idée de se voir tondu pour en faire des vêtements de toutes sortes lui donnant des cauchemars. Si tous les autres moutons se moquent de lui et de ses rêves de grandeur, il songe que son souhait est réalisable quand il voit une nuée de montgolfières voler au-dessus du champ. S'entraînant à courir et à monter dans les arbres, il compte bien mettre son plan à exécution, mais le reste du troupeau lui rappelle constamment qu'on n'a jamais vu un mouton dans un ballon.

Margery Williams’s magical nursery tale of a stuffed rabbit and his quest to become real Christmas morning, the room filled…
with the hustle and bustle of preparation, a rabbit stitched of velveteen sits perched on top of the little boy’s stocking. Those first two hours are the best of the young rabbit’s life: filled with hugs and play. But like most children, the boy is fickle and easily distracted—after Christmas morning, the Velveteen Rabbit is forgotten. Shy and intimidated by the new mechanical toys who sneer at him for being simple, the sawdust-filled rabbit sits quietly at the top of the toy closet, aching to be loved the way he was that wonderful Christmas morning. He’s soon taken in by the wise old Skin Horse, who sets him straight on the way to become real. It’s not about expensive mechanisms or shiny paint jobs. No, becoming real is all about the unadulterated love of a child. The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless story about the importance of love, honesty, and friendship.
