Six stories about ourselves, our relationship with others and nature
For almost a year, I roamed the Vaud pre-Alps. Accompanied by my children, we enjoyed the mountains, forests and vineyards. As we travelled by bus, train and on foot, one story after another came to light. I wanted to make sense of words and messages and thought of these tales as fables. Each one allowed my children and me to tackle important themes. Nature, death, social relationships, determination, friendship.
An innovative language
I like to ask questions about the way we speak and use the French language. This language is alive. It can be shaped. Transformed. Inclusive. My stories are inspiring for everyone, boys and girls alike. I am careful about the use of pronouns and agreement. This book favours of an inclusive French language, one that makes the feminine visible, that offers a literary as well as a social balance.
Supporting micro-publishing
Thanks to my editor Camille Decrey and illustrator Pia Valär, we are able to offer you a book that is inspiring, innovative and elegant. But all these skills come at a price. Micro-publishing allows us to print responsibly, with a number of copies printed on demand, but it has its costs. This crowdfunding will enable us to break even, and launch the next volume with greater peace of mind.
