Adé is a pretty little girl with dark skin, big brown eyes, and curly hair. She has a beautiful, thick head of hair, but it’s the source of a lot of teasing at school; the other kids tell her, for example, that it looks like she has “a million black butterflies on her head.” Adé loves flowers, butterflies, chocolate éclairs, and asking questions. One day, while she is with her mother and aunts, she asks them about her hair, which is constantly mocked. Thanks to them, she will gently discover the beauty of these butterflies sleeping on her head, until they finally take flight. A book that encourages tolerance and self-acceptance and aims to bring a little diversity to children’s literature.

Adé est une jolie petite fille à la peau noire, aux grands yeux bruns et aux cheveux crépus. Une chevelure magnifique et fournie, qui lui vaut néanmoins de nombreuses moqueries à l'école, les autres enfants lui disant notamment qu’ils ont l’impression qu’elle a « comme un million de papillons noirs sur la tête ». Adé aime les fleurs, les papillons, les éclairs au chocolat et poser des questions. Un jour qu’elle est en compagnie de sa mère et de ses tantes, elle les interroge donc sur ses cheveux sans cesse raillés. Grâce à elles, elle va découvrir en douceur la beauté de ces papillons endormis sur sa tête, jusqu’à leur envol final. Un ouvrage qui invite à la tolérance, l'acceptation de soi et vise à introduire un peu de diversité dans la littérature jeunesse.

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
