Description

See below for English description.

Que serait Anne si elle n’était pas Anne avec un e? Dans cet album charmant, la jeune fille laisse libre cours à son imagination… Elle serait peut-être une fée, ou encore le vent qui danse, ou peut-être qu’elle préférerait rester ellemême, telle qu’elle est! Kallie George capture la voix et toute l’élégance d’Anne avec brio. Combinée aux douces illustrations de Geneviève Godbout, cette histoire qui porte sur l’imagination et l’acceptation de soi présentera l’oeuvre classique Anne… La maison aux pignons verts à une toute nouvelle génération de lecteurs!

 

Anne daydreams of who she would be if she could not be Anne, Anne with an e. Perhaps she would be a dryad, or the dancing wind. Or perhaps she would rather be something more marvelous still: herself, just as she is. Kallie George masterfully captures Anne’s whimsical voice and charming flights of fancy. Paired with Geneviève Godbout’s soft and dreamlike coloured pencil illustrations, this story of imagination and self-acceptance will introduce a new generation of readers to Anne of Green Gables.

Original title: If I Couldn’t Be Anne
