SUMMARY:My Valley Workshop at Albertine
DESCRIPTION:Please join us along with French translator Alyson Waters for a morning of reading and fun at Albertine\, based on the book Ma Vallée by French children’s book author and illustrator Claude Ponti\, one of the most innovative children’s book authors of our generation. This workshop hosted by Elsewhere Editions in participation with the French Embassy and Albertine will be a playful and creative session for kids to read and interact with Ponti’s captivating fictional universe created through wordplay and illustrations of incredible detail and beauty. \n“A mix of comical vignettes and broad vistas illustrate an account of the lives and misadventures of a clan of tiny Twims.” \n— Kirkus Reviews\, Starred Review \n“Ponti’s beautiful\, intricate illustrations contain strange details hinting at larger stories. The guileless narrative sounds like it came directly from the brain of a child with a vivid imagination\, and fanciful kids drawn by the enchanting artwork might find their own imaginations sparked by this odd\, playful French import.” \n— Booklist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClaude Ponti is one of France’s most celebrated children’s writers and illustrators.
