“Hey, Mom, will you love me forever?” Archibald asks one evening before falling asleep.

“Hmm, well, I'll tell you a secret...,” his mom replies.

Thus begins the tender chronicle of moments shared between a mother and her child, where everything becomes an excuse to love one another.

On each spread, Astrid Desbordes has chosen to juxtapose contrasting situations, which effortlessly blend the real and the imaginary, poetry and humor.  The message of this irresistible picture book is simple and clear: love is constant and unconditional. But the real secret lies in the very last sentence: “I love you because you are my child / but you will never be mine.”

Dis, maman, est-ce que tu m'aimeras toute la vie ? demande Archibald, un soir avant de s'endormir

- Hum, eh bien, je vais te dire un secret..., répond sa maman.

Ainsi commence le tendre inventaire des moments de vies partagés entre une mère et son enfant, où tout devient prétexte à s'aimer.

Sur chaque double page, Astrid Desbordes a choisi d'opposer en vis-à-vis des situations contraires, qui jouent avec aisance sur les registres du quotidien et de l'imaginaire, de la poésie et de l'humour. Le message de cet irrésistible album est simple et limpide : l'amour est constant et sans condition. Mais c'est dans la toute dernière phrase que se cache le véritable secret : « Je t'aime parce que tu es mon enfant / mais que tu ne seras jamais à moi. »

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!
