My Head in the Clouds

by Danielle Chaperon, illustrated by Josée Bisaillon, translated by Sophie B. Watson

tagged: travel, stories in verse
Description

Travel the world with an intrepid explorer who's adventurous, brave and just a little bit forgetful.

She searches for ancient loot but loses her swimsuit! Goes to beautiful places and misplaces three suitcases! From Canada to Nepal to Egypt and beyond, our narrator circles the globe while abandoning her possessions. She even loses her mother, briefly, in the desert.

The cadence and rhyme, accented by quirky collage-style art, will propel readers along through this exciting excursion, ultimately landing on a fact page dedicated to the places you've just read about. Join us on our journey around the world.

About the Authors

Danielle Chaperon est née à La Malbaie. Enfant, elle aimait par-dessus tout écrire des pièces de théâtre pour sa joyeuse bande de voisins‧es. Bien des années plus tard, elle est allée étudier en littérature à l’Université Laval à Québec. Attirée par le monde de l’enseignement, elle s’est ensuite inscrite en Éducation à l’Université d’Ottawa et a enseigné de nombreuses années en Ontario et au Québec. En 2013, elle publie son premier album jeunesse : L’abominable, publié à La Courte Échelle. Depuis, elle continue d’écrire, toujours avec le même plaisir et elle n’a pas l’intention d’arrêter de sitôt.


Josée Bisaillon a illustré plus de trente-cinq livres pour enfants et créé de nombreuses illustrations pour des magazines et des journaux. Elle a été finaliste au Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général à deux reprises et a remporté le prestigieux Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award pour The Snow Knows. Il s’agit du quatrième ouvrage de Josée avec Orca, après My Head in the Clouds et Bedtime 123 écrit par Eric Walters, un succès de librairie. Elle vit en banlieue de Montréal avec sa famille.
