by Sara Cassidy, illustrated by Josée Bisaillon, translated by Rachel Martinez

tagged: bedtime & dreams, size & shape, country life
Description

Pendant qu’un enfant vaque à ses occupations quotidiennes, toutes sortes de choses lui font penser à la lune, là-haut dans le ciel. La lune est comme un étang gelé la nuit dans le bois. La lune est comme le lait dans le seau après la traite des vaches.

Les merveilleuses illustrations de Josée Bisaillon expriment comment notre imagination façonne notre environnement. Ce livre cartonné démontre aux enfants que leur façon de voir le monde—par le cœur, l’esprit et l’imagination—est tout à fait valable. Grâce à ses métaphores savoureuses, La lune est un étang d’argent invite les lecteurs à faire le saut magique dans leur imagination et à voir les objets du quotidien sous un autre angle.

Également disponible sous le titre The Moon is a Silver Pond en anglais.
