Je suis heureux maintenant, à l’idée des belles choses à venir, et je crois que c’est sûrement quelque chose de bien.
En route! Faites un tour à bord du train de la paix dans cet album adapté de la célèbre chanson de Cat Stevens sur l’amour et l’unité. Accompagné d’illustrations du célèbre Peter H. Reynolds, ce livre comprend les paroles poignantes du chanteur sur le bonheur, la paix et l’espoir. C’est le meilleur moyen de célébrer le 50e anniversaire de cette chanson classique, dont le message est aussi puissant et utile aujourd’hui qu’il l’était à l’époque.
Now, I’ve been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come, and I believe it could be something good has begun.
All aboard! Take a ride on the peace train in this picture book adaptation of Cat Stevens’ famous anthem about love and unity. Paired with illustrations from the celebrated Peter H. Reynolds, this book features the songwriter’s poignant lyrics about happiness, peace, and hope. There’s no better way to celebrate the fifty-year anniversary of Stevens’ classic, whose message is just as powerful today as it was back then.
