One of our toddler boys’ favourite books. I often hear Laura asking them questions about the caterpillar and its feelings. She always receives heartfelt responses. RIP Eric Carle. #childrensbooks

A repost by @theatlantic The beloved children’s book illustrator Eric Carle died this week at age 91.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In 2019, Ashley Fetters explored why Carle’s classic, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” has remained so popular—and how it is both a product of its late-1960s origins and also timeless. “Part of why both kids and parents love ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ is because it’s an educational book that doesn’t feel like a capital-E Educational book,” Fetters wrote on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. “The book also presents opportunities for kids to feel playfully superior to the caterpillar when it overindulges and gets a tummy ache. (Perhaps only later in life do readers learn to feel sorrowful, indigestive empathy for the gluttonous caterpillar.)”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Another aspect of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” that has added to its perpetual popularity is its vivid, subtly sophisticated art, particularly Carle’s use of “bright colors and formal techniques that are familiar to small children, such as finger painting and overlapping paper cutouts.” The book’s enduring appeal, Fetters wrote, “can be attributed to its effortless fusion of story and educational concepts, its striking visual style, and the timelessness of both its aesthetic and its content.” Read more at the link in our bio. ⁠⁠

A lovely post by @papiercrepon
Thank you for the review!

Plus que des nouvelles, ce sont des chroniques de la vie dans une réserve amérindienne qui s’offrent ici.
Une réserve dans laquelle traditions et modernité ont grand mal à cohabiter. Le mal-être est profond, les histoires douloureuses, les modes de vie bouleversés (« Fille sucre » en est une triste illustration)
Tel un bon reportage, le recueil propose une grande variété des points de vue. Femmes, enfants, vieillards : l’auteur se glisse avec une grande aisance dans chacun de ses personnages.
Une grande variété de thèmes aussi : de la protection de la nature (« Abitibi Canyon », avec une lutte contre la construction d’un barrage particulièrement touchante) aux ravages de l’alcool (« Langue Peinte ») en passant par les rêves de gosse (« Kumamuk », étonnant récit initiatique d’un jeune garçon fasciné par une équipe de catch).
J’ai enfin eu une admiration toute particulière pour le dernier chapitre, « Nord », dans lequel les quatre nouvelles se répondent, à la manière d’un roman choral.
Après le splendide #LeCheminDesAmes et le poignant #LesSaisonsDeLaSolitude, cet auteur ne me déçoit décidément jamais.

Lovely words from @libredelire Treize nouvelles de l’est au nord et jamais déçue par la plume de Joseph Boyden.

À l’est, « La Faute de Jenny Two Bears », ces quatre complices musicales qui font un retour sur scène maladroit mais combien jouissif!
Au sud, « Langue Peinte » est bouleversante. Et La Marche de l’Ours, qui dépeint le mystère et la sorcellerie indienne. Les hommes ne demandent pas, choquante et touchante.
À l’ouest, Légende de la Fille Sucre et Abitibi Canyon. Et au nord, là-haut, une très belle finale avec Le Vieux.
Ça commence en force et en beauté pour le #maiennouvelles de 2021.

“Le chemin des âmes Joseph Boyden
Elijah et Xavier, Indiens Crees se sont liés dans l’enfance, ils se sont choisis. Tandis que leur culture indienne était malmenée et bafouée par les Blancs, ils ont essayé de s’adapter entre tradition et modernité.
Aussi, lorsqu’en 1915, l’armée recherche des soldats jusque dans les coins les plus reculés du monde pour renforcer les rangs en France, Elijah et Xavier, Canadiens autochtones de l’Ontario s’engagent tout naturellement.
Mais la guerre des tranchées dans la Somme s’avère longue, difficile, les conditions de combats sont inhabituelles et tragiques, beaucoup périssent, le quotidien c’est la faim, les poux, la boue, la peur…
Xavier parle peu, Elijah a besoin de reconnaissance, de briller. Leur binôme est efficace, ils ont appris la chasse dès leur plus jeune âge. Ils ont appris à se faire bête quand c’était nécessaire, à se faire ombre aussi. L’un sera éclaireur, l’autre sniper.
Très vite, Elijah se transforme, il ne semble plus lui-même par moment, à la lueur des sagesses ancestrales, Xavier semble reconnaitre l’emprise du Windigo, cette folie qui touche les hommes qui ont dépassé l’interdit, qui se sont perdus. Elijah a besoin de tuer, c’est une nécessité, pire le gout du sang. Son camarade l’effraie il ne le reconnait plus. Et puis il y a la médecine blanche, la morphine dont Elijah ne semble plus pouvoir se passer !
En 1919, Xavier est de retour au Canada, mutilé, seul, moribond.
Sa tante Niska, l’attend à la gare, elle l’emporte sur le fleuve et durant trois jours elle va lui compter son histoire pour essayer de le sauver.
Un roman où deux voix se superposent, Xavier revoit son enfance avec Elijah et comment la guerre les a perdus.
Niska lui raconte la vie d’avant, avant l’arrivée des blancs, et comment elle en est venue à s’occuper de lui "son Neveu" ainsi qu’elle préfère nommer Xavier.”

What classic novel to read next? At a literary festival @lemarathondesmots in France (2019), novelist Joseph Boyden talks about Ernest Hemingway's great “The Sun Also Rises.” And describes it as a romantic novel, a literary soap opera of longing and desire. Travelling. Feeling lost and what grounds you.
