IS HE ASLEEP? (FRENCH ONLY)

Poc and his squirrel friend love to sit on the old tree stump and watch the birds go by… but this morning, their favorite blackbird isn't there. After searching everywhere, they find him lying peacefully, motionless. They settle down quietly. And the waiting becomes a time for reflection. This tender picture book by Olivier Tallec addresses the themes of loss and memory with rare delicacy, from a child's perspective.

In autumnal tones, the enveloping illustrations and restrained text offer a sensitive reading experience that gently guides the reader towards listening, empathy, and the question: "Is he sleeping or will he not come back?" Ideal for discussing the end of a life, calm, memory, and the emotions it evokes with very young children.
