A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“My three-year-old daughter loves flipping back in the book to trace how the neighborhood changes in Aude Maurel’s whimsical illustrations. This captivating technique—focusing on a single setting that slowly transforms over the course of the story—recalls books by Mitsumasa Anno, another favorite in our house. And thanks to Emma Ramadan’s translation from the French, which maintains a nice rhythm and rhyme, this is a fun book to read aloud. Who Left the Light On? joins a growing collection of (much-needed) kids literature that portrays diversity as a source of inspiration and strength. This is Yonder Books’s first picture book, and I’m eagerly awaiting the next.” (Karen Philips, Executive Editor Words Without Borders)

“In a neighborhood where all the houses are exactly the same, differences slowly creep in. At first, no one knows who left the light on. But, by the end the neighborhood has embraced the many ways to be. A deceptively simple look at diversity and self-expression.”

  (Christopher Green Bookworm of Edwards (Edwards, CO))

“A beautiful book .... characterized by respect and tolerance for difference and creativity.” (Vivrelivre)

“The text, short and accurate, just hits the mark. The final conclusion is like a cherry on top of the cake. To savor!” (Overblog)
