A classic French story from Nobel Prize-winner Patrick Modiano and celebrated illustrator Jean-Jacques Sempé.
Beautifully illustrated, this is a love letter to Paris, ballet and childhood for fans of The Little Prince, Le Petit Nicholas and Madeline.
Catherine lives with her gentle father, Georges Certitude, who runs a shipping business in Paris with a failed poet named Casterade. Father and daughter share the simple pleasures of daily life: sitting in the church square, walking to school, going to her ballet class every Thursday afternoon. But just why did Georges change his name to Certitude? What kind of trouble with the law did Casterade rescue him from? And why did Catherine's ballerina mother leave to return to New York?
Told from the perspective of a young French boy, this collection of
charming stories--presented in French--isn't just for young
readers. It doubles as an entertaining primer for anyone who is
studying the French language.

Sempe, this illustrated children's book, originally published in
French in 1969, tells the story of Martin Pebble, a little boy who

who sneezes all the time for no particular reason, it's the
beginning of a life-long friendship. Featuring the inimitable
drawings and perfectly-judged text of Jean-Jacques Sempe, this
funny and charming book will be enjoyed by children and adults
alike.
