Le pré
Quand quelque chose disparaît, quelque chose renaît.","When something goes, something grows.
Un livre qui encourage l’amour de la nature. Un jeune enfant explore le monde naturel derrière sa maison et y trouve du réconfort durant une période de deuil.
Le pré derrière la maison de Leif recèle un monde secret. Des abeilles aux araignées, des chenilles aux champignons, Leif découvre une multitude de minuscules joies et les raconte à son arrière-grand-mère pendant leurs visites hebdomadaires. Lorsque l’aïeule disparaît, Leif et sa mère se rappellent une phrase qu’elle répétait souvent : « Quand quelque chose disparaît, quelque chose renaît. »
