Ce livre raconte la journée de deux petits garçons, depuis le moment où ils se lèvent jusqu'à l'heure du coucher.
L'un habite à Sydney, en Australie, l'autre au Maroc, dans la vallée des Roses. Ce jour-là, chaque garçon va accompagner son papa dans l'une de ses activités quotidiennes, et vivre avec lui un moment privilégié... car il y a des choses que partagent toutes les familles du monde, où qu'elles vivent.

Jeannie Baker a effectué pour ce livre un travail d'artiste impressionnant : elle a réalisé des collages sur bois couche par couche et combiné des matières telles que le sable, la terre, l'argile, les végétaux, le tissu, la laine, le plastique...

In this story, life on the rooftops of New York is brought into focus.
Light, a pure white homing pigeon leaves his New York city flock and we follow him on his journey through New York. He tries to find food. When it starts to rain Light flies into a subway train where he is picked up by a young boy who takes him home. The boy’s mother explains that Light’s leg band means he is a homing pigeon so he is set free, the bird’s instinct leads him back to his owner.
The boy does not forget him and each time he sees a flock of homing pigeons he thinks he sees Light.

Stunning and unique mixed media collages will amaze readers in this powerful, eco-conscious picture book by the internationally renowned Jeannie Baker.
In this visually compelling look at our changing environment by Jeannie Baker, a mother and baby look through a window at a view of wilderness and sky as far as the eye can see. With each page, the boy grows and the scene changes. At first, in a clear patch of forest, a single house appears. A few years pass and there is a village in the distance...
When the boy is twenty, will he recognize the view from his window?
Illustrated with elaborate and gorgeous collage constructions, Window is a wordless picture book that speaks volumes.

A family.
A house.
A neighborhood.
A place to play.
A place to feel safe.
Little by little, baby Tracy grows. She and her neighbors begin to rescue their street. Together, children and adults plant grass and trees and bushes in the empty spaces. They paint murals over old graffiti. They stop the cars. Everything begins to blossom.
In Jeannie Baker's striking, natural collages, an urban community reclaims its land. A drab city street becomes a living, thriving neighborhood -- a place to call home.
