Leonard and Loulou

LEONARD AND LOULOU

“Leonard and Loulou”: For 6- to 10-year-old girls and boys, available in 3 languages with 12 wonderfully colored illustrations.

This tender story of inner change was created for parents and all grown-ups who wish to open gentle conversations with their children—about moments when school feels heavy, when someone’s words hurt, or when a child begins to believe they’re not good enough.

As children listen, something beautiful happens: they recognize their own feelings in the characters, and they begin to speak about what’s been hidden inside. And there is hardly anything more nourishing for an adult than sharing this book with a child—turning the pages together, discovering the adorable cats and dogs, and letting the images soften both hearts.

You and your children will fall in love with Léonard and Loulou—a story that gives voice to emotions that too often have no room in today’s world, emotions we would all do well to express more freely.

Léonard’s journey mirrors the author’s own path—she, too, carried the belief of not being enough. And it echoes her son’s struggle, when he resisted going to school because feelings of inferiority were too heavy to bear.

This book has already touched countless hearts, young and old alike.

The American publishing house Morgan James K!DS in New York has embraced the story and released a softcover edition, available on Amazon.

WHAT READERS SAY

“The book is beautiful. The topic bullying is very important, and the way this topic is presented is very appealing and will certainly help many children AND adults.”
Elisabeth Dancet, mother, CFO assistant

“Our 11-year-old was sick and awake early. I gave him the book, and he read it through in one go: Dad, he said, this is a funny story… and very beautiful!”
Thomas Friday, Coach MindMove

“I like the story because it is about a problem that young and old human beings know as well as Léonard: Not to be sufficient and to lose confidence in themselves. Clever animals are helping in this loving story. The dogs and cats, for their part, learn from Léonard how difficult it is often for humans to show feelings and confidence. The crafty cat Loulou has an idea…”
Esther Bachmann, photographer

“The book is so touching and loving! I feel like I’ve met Léonard in person. Congratulations! It is so wonderful when people create things that speak directly from their hearts and touch other hearts.”
