Cinquante écrivains et illustrateurs pour l'enfance et la jeunesse à l'école des loisirs livrent leurs témoignages et réflexions. Ils rappellent l'importance du livre dans le développement de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, ainsi que le lien vital qui existe entre lecture, éducation, liberté et, donc, démocratie. Car l'enjeu est bien là : c'est l'éducation du sens critique qui donne aux lecteurs la liberté de choisir et leur assure d'être demain des femmes et des hommes libres.

Authors
Claude Ponti
Author · 27 books
Claude Ponti is a prolific author, painter, and illustrator, known for his humorous explorations of the nonsense world of dreams. His first picture book, Adele’s Album, was created to amuse his young daughter; he has since authored more than sixty children’s books. On a personal note, Claude says: "I’m left-handed; I prefer cats to dogs (they don’t lick people); and I’m not a vegetarian because I can’t stand the cry of the lettuce or the carrot wrenched from the earth." He also fondly remembers climbing trees as a young boy, looking for the best spot to sit and read a book. Claude Ponti currently divides his time between the French countryside (where there are many birds, such as pheasants) and Paris (where there are pigeons).
