This birth book is based on a dialog between a tree and a child as they both grow up simultaneously: they both sprout, are born, breathe, have vital needs, and realize all they have in common. To illustrate this beautiful text on the harmony between mankind and nature, Anne Crahay used the egg tempera technique, which is one of the earliest type of painting and makes complete sense for the subject of this poetic book.
Toddlers will have fun turning this book in every direction as they follow a little sleepwalker who falls out of bed, rolls outside of her bedroom and starts a nonsensical and fast-paced journey, stumbling, bouncing, and drifting along the water before returning on eagle-back, all with her eyes wide shut, then back to her bed… where she wakes up peacefully from a refreshing sleep!

How strange that it is so different for things you find in nature, like a bird song or an apple tree or the moon light! These things are in the open, impossible to own, neither expensive nor rare, and yet they are so precious! The latest title in a series that has sold 500 000 copies in France alone and been translated into 21 languages.
