Wholesale The Tree of a Thousand Seasons

The Tree of a Thousand Seasons — A poetic children's picture book illustrated in screen printing There are books you read once, and others you keep for a lifetime. The Tree of a Thousand Seasons, written by Valérie Weishar-Giuliani and illustrated by Flo Kanban, firmly belongs to the latter category. This poetic children's book tells, with rare tenderness, the unbreakable bond between a child and a tree planted one autumn evening — a bond that will span seasons, years, and generations. Published by Un Dimanche Après-Midi, this book stands out for both the beauty of its text and the uniqueness of its illustrations created using the two-color screen printing technique. An artisanal method that transforms each page into a true work of art, at the crossroads of an illustrated book and an artist's book. The story: a tree, a friendship, a thousand seasons It all begins with a seed, a child, and a silent promise. Garance becomes fond of the tree planted by her great-grandfather when he was just a child. The tree becomes in turn her refuge, her playground, her confidant. As the pages turn, we see it grow, extend its branches, welcome birds and butterflies, adorn itself with cherries in summer, golden leaves in autumn, snow in winter. And while the tree grows, generations succeed around it — until the day when, over a hundred years old, an old man proudly contemplates the great tree he had planted as a child. A story about the passage of time, transmission, and the beauty of life — told with a poetry that touches both children and the adults who read to them. What makes this book truly unique 🎨 Artisanal screen-printed illustrations Two bold colors — teal blue and ochre gold — for clean blocks, contemporary graphic effects, and rare visual depth. Each illustration is unique in its rendering, like a small artist's poster. 🌳 An intergenerational and universal story From childhood to old age, the tree is there. This gentle and profound temporality echoes the values of transmission, family memory, and connection to nature that many parents seek to pass on. 🌿 Awakening to biodiversity and ecology Without ever being moralizing, the book invites children to observe, to marvel: tits, ants, butterflies, dead leaves, blooms... An awakening to nature in all its poetry. 📖 A poetic text accessible from age 3 The rhythm of Valérie Weishar-Giuliani's text is fluid, musical, perfect for reading aloud. Short, precise, deep — it speaks to children without ever condescending.
