Favourite: Poems for Little Ones by Sonia Fleming
Sonia Fleming's poetry is timeless. It touches everyone's hearts, whether they are 'young' or 'old', with its gentle words and profound themes. With 'Poésies pour les petits' (Poems for Little Ones), rediscovered by chance, she takes us on a refreshing journey where nature and animals become the heroes of each page.
This collection, designed for young readers, offers a poetic and tender vision of the animal world, full of lightness and charming rhymes. The poems depict creatures with soft and lively features, such as Pompon the kitten or Crabioti the crab, capturing their essence and character with finesse. Far from being just a children's book, it also invites adults to immerse themselves in this simple and magical world, where each verse evokes a childhood memory or a gentle reflection on our connection with nature. This beautifully illustrated book is a space for escape, imagination and intergenerational bonding.
In an instant, Poésies pour les petits succeeds in reminding young and old alike of the beauty of small things, while opening the door to lively and playful poetry. A real pleasure to share, with no age limit. Like many of his works, this one is only distributed in schools, which is a shame... all that remains is to bribe a child to steal it for you!
