Inhaltsangabe

Written by Gerard Greverand and illustrated by Magali Bardos, this charming picture book repeats the phrase, 'Tell me if you like...' as a way of recreating all the small pleasures of childhood. Each spread invites the reader to recognise specific moments described in simple, evocative phrases. Tell me if you like...waking up thinking that it's Tuesday or Wednesday and then realising that it's Saturday!...wobbling your loose tooth with your tongue...waking up in the middle of the night, lovely and warm in your bed, and listening to the storm outside and the noise of the rain on the roof...pretending that a witch has changed you into an animal. Are you a snail, a zebra, a butterfly or an elephant?...staring at the moon until you see cities, oceans, roads and buildings...smelling the air after fireworks have exploded The stylish, naive artwork matches the simple text perfectly, combining to create a humorous catalogue of small joys. The book acts as a trigger for those fleeting childish memories - composed of particular smells, colours, sounds and sensations - that are treasured somewhere in the depths of our imagination.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Magali Bardos was born in Paris in 1970. After reading History at university, she went on to attend the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, Belgium. During the six years she spent in Belgium, Magali worked in collaboration with the Belgian Press and with theatre companies doing painting, set construction and puppet building. She has returned to Paris and is currently dividing her time working as a set-design assistant at the Opera Royal de la Monnaie and children's book illustration. Gerard Greverand is a Professor of literature, and teaches French in Normandy where he lives despite the rainy climate. He is only afraid of one thing: getting caught in the rain.
