Wholesale And You Will Laugh... - Children's Books

The story: At nine years old, Jeanne has a strange desire: Jeanne would like to be an old lady. Because an old lady, for Jeanne, is very tempting. This is not the opinion of her family and her best friend, but Jeanne doesn't care, because she has found an ally who will offer her a life lesson. For whom: for all children who are growing up and questioning adults. Ages 4 – 10. About: a story with accuracy about the connection between generations, the passage of time, and the joys of life. Special mention: this book was selected for the 2011 edition of the Chronos Prize for Literature, created in 1996 by the National Foundation of Gerontology. This prize invites participants (from kindergarten to 95 years and older) to read books on themes of intergenerational relationships, the transmission of knowledge, life paths, old age, and death.
