In this sixth volume of Le jardin de Juliette et Joséphine, children meet a fascinating and often overlooked insect: the firebug.
Recognizable by its pretty red-and-black shell, this little insect intrigues children but sometimes has a bad reputation. Yet, contrary to popular belief, the firebug is a valuable garden ally.
Page after page, Juliette and Joséphine invite young readers to discover how it lives, its role in the ecosystem and why preserving biodiversity matters.
🌱 Learning to respect living things
Explaining to children how essential insects are passes on respect for nature and sparks their curiosity about the world around them.
Written and illustrated by Cécile Miraglio, this book pairs poetic illustrations with accessible educational content, for learning full of wonder.
