“Le secret de grand cœur” by Sophie de Mullenheim and illustrated by Annick Masson is aimed at children from 3 years ! The story is as often very simple, but it is timeless and tender.
Little Victor likes to share simple moments with O’Ma, his grandmother. She tells him about her life before, before computers, before color TV, etc. That day, she opens an album that she has treasured for many years, and takes it out. a feather headdress. That of Victor’s great-great-grandfather. His name was Big Heart, he was a big chief and everyone respected him, but even more, everyone loved him.
The grandmother places the feather headdress on Victor’s head, moved and proud. A way of hand over to him. Victor is happy to show it to his friends. He hopes that little Julie will find him more handsome, that Ludo will no longer call him small… Of course, things will happen a little differently, but O’Ma tell him the secret of the Big Heart Headdress.
Obviously, I’m not going to tell you more, it’s up to you to discover the story with your little bits, but it’s a real crush for me, so sweet and intelligent.
