minutesLa création d'un livre pour enfant vous semble enfantin? Mais comment communiquer l'émotion, comment développer des personnages et une intrigue, comment inspirer et captiver les enfants en dix mots, cent mots ou six cents mots?
Comment, en tant qu'adulte, pouvons-nous créer une voix et une perspective d'enfant?
Dans cet atelier nous examinerons le pouvoir des images et des mots dans la littérature pour enfants.
Nous explorerons l'importance de la lecture pour enfants qui leur ouvre une fenêtre sur le monde et comment l'accès à une bibliothèque publique peut encourager et enrichir cette possibilité.
Nous ferons un court exercice d'écriture sur place pour revisiter l'émotion et l'émerveillement de l'enfance.
Célébrez avec nous la joie de lire à l’occasion du mois des bibliothèques.
Marie-Louise Gay est l’auteure et l’illustratrice de plus de soixante-dix albums pour enfants, entre autres, la série Stella et Sacha, Caramba, Un Million de Questions!, Mustafa et Où est Sydney?Les trois frères, Zig et Zag et L’arbre de Lily.
