Par Tomi Ungerer. 2002
"Tomi Ungerer est Alsacien, comme vous-mêmes êtes Breton, Parisien, Basque, Ch'timi ou Berrichon. Ça paraît simple, et pourtant c'est très…
compliqué. Car après la guerre de 1870, l'Alsace a été annexée par l'Allemagne. Après la victoire de 1918, elle est redevenue française. Mais suite à la débâcle de 1940, elle est redevenue allemande. Et en 1945, française à nouveau. Tomi a huit ans quand la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate. Du jour au lendemain, il doit changer de nom, parler allemand, écrire en gothique, faire un dessin raciste pour son premier devoir nazi. Il obéit, il s'adapte. Il devient un caméléon : Français sous son toit, Allemand à l'école, Alsacien avec les copains. Heureux, quoi qu'il arrive. À la maison, sa mère, fantasque, chaleureuse et rusée, veille. Elle l'encourage à dessiner et à écrire, à rire et à faire rire, à déployer tous ses talents. Toute sa vie, elle a conservé les cahiers, les croquis, les devoirs, le journal intime de son fils, les affiches de l'époque. Ce sont ces archives incomparables qui ponctuent et réveillent les souvenirs de guerre de Tomi Ungerer. " -- 4e de couvLe tatoueur dAuschwitz

Un jour, pourtant, il lève les yeux sur Gita et la jeune femme devient sa lumière dans ce monde d'une noirceur infinie. Ils savent d'emblée qu'ils sont faits l'un pour l'autre. Mais dans cette prison où l'on se bat pour un morceau de pain et pour sauver sa vie, il n'y a pas de place pour l'amour. Ils doivent se contenter de minuscules moments de joie, qui leur font oublier le cauchemar du quotidien. Mais Lale a fait une promesse : un jour, ils seront libres, deux jeunes gens heureux de vivre ensemble. Deux personnes plus fortes que l'horreur du mondeEveryone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too: A Book
Par Jomny Sun. 2018
everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is the story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, only…
to meet all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, all while learning to feel a little better about being an alien—based on the enormously popular Twitter account, @jonnysun. Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, a lonely alien who, for the first time ever, finds a home on our planet after learning that earthlings can feel lonely too. Jomny finds friendship in a bear tired of other creatures running away in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, an owl working its way to being wise, a tree feeling stuck in one place, a tadpole coming to terms with turning into a frog, a dying ghost, a puppy unable to express itself, and many more. Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all of us earth-bound creatures here on this planet, we can all be reminded that sometimes, it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly areThey didn't teach this in worm school!
