Résumé

Gyô is a mischievous little boy who lives in a Shinto temple in Japan. One morning, he breaks a precious vase and runs off into the forest to escape his father's reprimands. There he meets Babasan, the great Kami spirit (a deity revered in the Shinto religion). She's worried because winter won't go away! She offers our young hero a mission to make up for his mistake: he must recover his fan, stolen by an evil kitsune (fox) who is preventing spring from returning. Gyô will have to face up to his fears and show his ingenuity and courage to succeed in his mission. Thanks to the help of a crane, he manages to retrieve the magic fan. Spring returns: the seasons are saved.

Gyô's Spring is a tale for children, but above all it's an ecological message!

And as is customary in this "Creative Albums" collection:

At the end of the book, children can continue the story by doing handicrafts. Cutting, pasting, colouring... the creation of a fan is at the heart of the tale! It is explained in the form of a drawn tutorial and accompanied by special sheets of paper that can be easily detached... Something to keep our dear little readers busy.

Voyageuse de l’imaginaire, animatrice d’ateliers d’écriture, illustratrice amatrice… Aude Hage est une artiste aux mille talents. Professeure d’histoire-géo en lycée, la rêverie l’entraîne vers des contrées lointaines, comme le Japon, la création la ramène au rivage et à ses convictions écologiques. Aude est une ardente défenseuse de la nature où elle puise son inspiration. Sans accepter de frontière, elle fait escale dans différents genres, de l’album jeunesse au roman d’anticipation.
