A young child walks along a country road into town where there’s a parade on. The experiences of the day, and the child’s eventual homecoming and bedtime, are chronicled and compared to the sun. The sun takes the form of the yolk of an egg, a spool of thread, the eye of a bird, an ice-cream cone and a dandelion. Each round, yellow item on the page hints at the big golden ball in the sky. Stunning illustrations by Josée Bisaillon capture how imagination shapes the environment around us. This simple board book shows children that the way they see the world—by heart, mind and imagination—is just right. Revelling in metaphor, The Sun is a Peach encourages that magical leap of imagination and asks the reader to look at everyday objects from a different perspective.
Pendant qu’un enfant vaque à ses occupations quotidiennes, toutes sortes de choses lui font penser à la lune, là-haut dans le ciel. La lune est comme un étang gelé la nuit dans le bois. La lune est comme le lait dans le seau après la traite des vaches. Les merveilleuses illustrations de Josée Bisaillon expriment comment notre imagination façonne notre environnement. Ce livre cartonné démontre aux enfants que leur façon de voir le monde—par le cœur, l’esprit et l’imagination—est tout à fait valable. Grâce à ses métaphores savoureuses, La lune est un étang d’argent invite les lecteurs à faire le saut magique dans leur imagination et à voir les objets du quotidien sous un autre angle.
