C'est mon chandail!

Von Innerebner, Jessika,

Il n'y a pas une seule aventure qu'Olivia n'ait vécue avec son "chandail préféré de tout l'univers"! Et, lorsqu'ils sont séparés (le temps d'une brassée de lavage), cela ne dure jamais longtemps. Mais, alors que la fillette grandit, son précieux vêtement, lui, ne change pas et elle l'aperçoit un jour sur le dos de son petit frère. Sa maman a beau lui promettre qu'elle lui en achètera un nouveau, Olivia se promet de récupérer SON bien. Il n'y a qu'à attendre le bon moment, quitte à le provoquer un peu! La découverte d'une photo de famille et la lumière qu'elle voit dans les yeux de son jeune frère viennent cependant remettre bien des choses en perspective... [SDM] Un album bourré d'humour et de tendresse, qui aborde la difficulté qu'ont les enfants à se séparer de certains vêtements fétiches, même lorsqu'ils sont devenus trop petits et que le temps est venu de les céder à un autre enfant de la fratrie. La finale bien trouvée révèle que la petite Olivia a elle-même hérité le précieux chandail de laine rouge de son frère aîné, qui lui en lègue finalement un autre, tout aussi beau, bien malgré lui! La palette d'émotions vécues par la jeune héroïne est très efficacement traduite non seulement par le texte, dont l'expressivité est soulignée par des jeux typographiques et des dialogues bien sentis, mais également de pétillantes illustrations de synthèse, esquissées de traits de crayon noir déliés et colorées d'aplats rouges, saumon et turquoises.
