By simply looking at a tree, it’s so hard to imagine that
tree roots live such a hectic life underground !
Isabelle Collioud Marichallot Anne Derenne
« Heads or Tails », this original collection is intended to help children discover
nature from a fictional or a scientific point of view as they wish. Indeed, these beau-
tifully illustrated double side books are designed to be flipped over and read from
either side.
If the reader chooses the « Tell me a story » side, he will dive into the magical world
of tree roots that can walk, play and meet with other small living beings. If the rea-
der prefers the « I want to learn » side, he will turn the book upside down to read
more about where tree roots go and what is their purpose.
Inspired by best-seller « The hidden life of trees » from German writer Peter
Wohlleben. We were eager to explain how trees communicate, interact and help
each other thanks to a complex and amazing « green » network made by roots.

« Heads or Tails », this original collection is intended to help children discover
nature from a fictional or a scientific point of view as they wish. Indeed, these
beautifully illustrated double side books are designed to be flipped over and read
from either side. This book is part of the same collection as « Where do the trees
go ?». If the reader chooses the « Tell me a story » side, he will be told stories about
trees, whether small or tall, and animals making their home in their hollow. Such
a big family !
If the reader prefers the « I want to learn » side, he will learn about the role of bark
and he will be able to see what the inside of a tree trunk looks like. It tells us much
about the tree itself.

Some are Beloved, others are Unloved. Animal life is not without injustice.
Should they resign themselves ? This conference offers the opportunity to think
differently… But, think about it : are the Beloved ones in such an enviable position ?PICTURE BOOKS (6-9)

be heard all year long, though no one really
knows how it all began. The winds of freedom are blowing through the dances, music,
and songs that overflow the town. What’s happening this year? Why all the dancing,
music, and song?
