| description | From 1948 to 1983, Père Castor published a series of twenty picture books in a collection called "Les Enfants de la Terre." Each volume was an opportunity for an author and illustrator, often working "in-house," to present the life of a child of around ten years old living in a particular part of the world. The goal, announced by Paul Faucher at the launch of the collection, was to "rely on facts and documents of indisputable authenticity, so that young readers could build a solid idea of countries and peoples based on the impressions left by these little books." This article attempts to show that, behind this naive but praiseworthy intention, there was another even more praiseworthy one, which drew on diversity to send a message of brotherhood and peace between peoples in the aftermath of six years of war that Europe and the world had just experienced. |
