Splash Boots… and other little troubling delights

25 texts offering the reader varied game situations intensely experienced by children. Moments which are funny, happy, mischievous and sometimes hard, but always deliciously lively !

These instants which make up childhood, when worry can mix with joy, fear with elation, and jubilation with doubt, are illustrated with all of Albertine’s sensitivity and delicacy.
