Words are heroes! To reach us, they have experienced a thousand and one adventures across time and culture. In this playful and colorful graphic novel, poet Nicolas Lauzon and linguist Marijo Denis tell us the stories of some of them.
Glasses were invented so a little boy could see the moon. The little finger refers to the only finger small enough to clean our ear. The sow carries her young in her womb like the Trojan horse carries its soldiers. True friends share their bread rations...
Thanks to Once Upon a Word, children—and adults!—will learn many facts about the origin of words, their formation, their history, and their evolution over time. An introduction to poetry, etymology, and a love of the French language!
