The Gardener of Alcatraz
A True Story

Présentation de l’éditeur
A prisoner gardens his way to freedom in this inspiring picture-book biography.

When Elliott Michener was locked away in Alcatraz for counterfeiting, he was determined to defy the odds and bust out. But when he got a job tending the prison garden, a funny thing happened. He found new interests and skills--and a sense of dignity and fulfillment. Elliott transformed Alcatraz Island, and the island transformed him.

Told with empathy and a storyteller's flair, Elliott's story is funny, touching, and unexpectedly relevant. Back matter about the history of Alcatraz and the US prison system today invites meaningful discussion.
Ooooh, quelle belle histoire. Et surtout avec cet aspect de réalité. J’adore !

Je connais bon nombre d’histoire autour de la prison Alcatraz, mais j’ignorais qu’il y avait Elliott Michener et ces jardins.

Extraordinaire comment cela a changé son destin.

Un sublime moment de lecture.

Mr. McCloskey's Marvelous Mallards
The Making of Make Way for Ducklings

Présentation de l’éditeur
While writing and illustrating the beloved picture book Make Way for Ducklings, Robert McCloskey brings a flock of ducklings into his tiny New York City apartment. But an artist + a bunch of ducklings in his apartment = chaos! There are ducklings in the bathtub and ducklings in the kitchen, quacking at dawn and sitting on his desk. Can he learn to draw them just right before they grow too big?
 
This glimpse into the creation of a much-loved story for kids is a must-read for fans of children’s books, or for anyone who is interested in the creative process and the importance of persistence.
 
“Emma Smith has done a bang-up job imagining how my father wrote Make Way for Ducklings. I enjoyed reading her book.” 
Jane McCloskey, daughter of Robert McCloskey

Après ma lecture de Laissez passer les canards, j’étais prête pour découvrir l’artiste derrière cette histoire.

Robert McCloskey m’a charmé avec son histoire, pas étonnant que je ressors aussi enthousiaste de cet album.

Emma Bland Smith a écrit une belle histoire qui redonne la création de ce fameux livre de McCloskey sublimement.

Et quel dévouement pour son art du côté de l’artiste. Vivre dans un petit studio avec autant de canards… fallait vraiment vouloir percer tous leur mouvements !

J’ai en tout cas passé un sublime moment. Aussi bien avec l’album de McCloskey qu’avec celui-ci.

Et j’adore la dédicace de Becca Stadtlander Wink

The Fabulous Fannie Farmer
Kitchen Scientist and America’s Cook

Présentation de l’éditeur
When Fannie Farmer learned to cook in the late 1800s, recipes could be pretty silly. They might call for “a goodly amount of salt” or “a lump of butter” or “a suspicion of nutmeg.” Girls were supposed to use their “feminine instincts” in the kitchen (or maybe just guess). Despite this problem, Fannie loved cooking, so when polio prevented her from going to college, she became a teacher at the Boston Cooking School. Unlike her mother or earlier cookbook writers, Fannie didn’t believe in feminine instincts. To her, cooking was a science. She’d noticed that precise measurements and specific instructions ensured that cakes rose instead of flopped and doughnuts fried instead of burned. Students liked Fannie’s approach so much that she wrote a cookbook. Despite skepticism from publishers, Fannie’s book was a recipe for success.

Written with humor and brought to life with charming illustrations, this book explores the origins of Fannie Farmer’s quintessentially American cookbook. A cookbook that was beloved because it allowed anyone to make tasty things, with no guessing, no luck—and certainly no feminine  instincts—required.
Oui, j’aime bien les biographies romancées, en plus je ne connaissais pas Fannie Farmer, même pas de nom. Une vraie découverte.

Quelle femme extraordinaire, en plus quelle sublime invention elle a légué aux futurs chefs cuisine !

Album grand coup de cœur.
