The tall man will give her a most wonderful gift, a blue apple. Léa, the main character, is the good, intelligent and fresh child with naiveté and a heart big as the world.With Léa, le grand monsieur et la pomme bleue, the author presents a story with psychology, poetry and magic, that will please young readers.
Excerpt
à la croisée des rues, elle aperçoit Xavier qui fonce droit devant.
Elle ralentit le rythme. Elle l'attend.
— Tu es venue me rejoindre, Léa.
— Hum, hum…
Ce soir-là, lors du souper, les parents discutent tranquillement.
Le papa de Léa affirme :
— Plus besoin d'avoir peur pour la paix de notre quartier.
— Pourquoi dis-tu cela ?
— Le verger du bout de la rue n'est plus à vendre. L'affiche a été enlevée.
