About the Book
Ce livre est un album photo accompagné de textes décrivant une période pittoresque de notre vie en d’autres lieux et d’autres temps. Mais c’est aussi une fresque d’histoires tantôt amusantes, tantôt édifiantes ou poignantes et farcie de photos des jours d’antan. Les textes complémentent les images et ne font qu’ajouter les bruits, les éclats de voix et les parfums que les photos ne font qu’évoquer à nos yeux.
Vous y verrez ce que bon vous semble mais vous voudrez en offrir une copie à chaque membre de votre famille, des arrière-grands-parents jusqu’aux nouveaux-nés.
Ca fera le bonheur de tous grands et petits et déclenchera d’autres histoires du temps passé.
About the Creator
Gabrielle grew up in Beirut. There, she attended the Alliance school and the Lycee Francais then graduated from teaching college in Paris, thanks to the Alliance sponsorship. She taught for two years in Beirut and is still a Math/Science teacher in a Montreal high school. She has earned the Prime Minister of Canada's Award for Teaching Excellence. She has traveled around the world. She has an old-fashioned passion for reading books, loves movies with neither violence nor bloodshed and still appreciates real-life face-to-face conversations. For her books she patiently collected old photos, learned how to doctor some of those that did not survive the years, wrote endless captions to identify as many faces as she could, composed the text in French, translated it into English, spent hours selecting appropriate photos relevant to the text, did and redid the page layouts many times until she was satisfied. Here is hoping that her readers will enjoy the results.
