Foleton a paur dau negre - Patricia Jouve

(Leprechaun afraid of the dark)


In the big, dark wood, Foleton can't sleep because he's afraid of the dark...


A children's book written in Provençal, which tackles the fear of the dark with children.

Patricia JOUVE, well known in the world of Occitan culture and song, has written a beautiful book for children.

This beautifully illustrated tale enables Foleton to chase away all the spirits that lurk in the dark of night and prevent him from sleeping. All his friends in the woods and at night reassure him that evil spirits, devils, magicians, ogres and other fears... must be sent back to the imaginary world of fairy tales.

A lovely story to tell little ones when they go to bed, to soothe them before they fall asleep.
The language is simple, with a rich vocabulary both of the woodland environment and of the imaginary night. The repetition of questions and answers helps children to understand the story, and is ideal for use in the classroom.
A booklet to recommend to all teachers, from kindergarten to CE2.


Text and illustrations by Patricia JOUVE, in Provençal (classic spelling).
