Présentation de l’éditeur
Avoir une mère qui vient d'un autre pays rend souvent votre vie un peu différente de celle de vos amis... Elle parle avec un accent, cuisine de drôles d'aliments, porte des vêtements étranges, elle ne vous ressemble pas forcément, chante de curieuses chansons...
Mais l'originalité de ces mamans est précisément ce qui en fait les meilleures des mamans.

S'adressant aux lecteurs jeunes et moins jeunes, cet ouvrage porte un regard tendre et amusé sur ces mères un peu différentes et donc tellement formidables.

This gorgeous picture book biography, according to Kirkus Reviews in a starred review, is "a cheerful introduction not only to Wu Daozi, but to the power of inspiration."

Who wants to learn calligraphy when your brush is meant for so much more? Wu Daozi (689-758), known as China's greatest painter and alive during the T'ang Dynasty, is the subject of this stunning picture book. When an old monk attempts to teach young Daozi about the ancient art of calligraphy, his brush doesn't want to cooperate. Instead of characters, Daozi's brush drips dancing peonies and flying Buddhas! Soon others are admiring his unbelievable creations on walls around the city, and one day his art comes to life! Little has been written about Daozi, but Look and So masterfully introduce the artist to children.

One summer day a bunny hops out of the woods and into a garden. “What a wonderful garden someone has made just for me,” she thinks. All summer she feasts there. In the fall, she hides from the mean old cat behind big orange pumpkins. Then, just before the snows of winter, another bunny hops into her garden. Now during the cold winter, she has a friend. And when the first flowers of spring pop up in the garden, the two bunnies are there–and so are their three little baby bunnies!
This gentle story with vibrant watercolor paintings captures the essence of the four seasons.
