There is also a T.rex, but that’s not the subject

Text by Julie Douine
Illustrations by Noémie Favart

Édith and her dad Bachir live in a block of flats in the Poppy Estate, a misnomer because there are no flowers, only concrete. Bachir likes to tell Édith about the places they pass, but in a funny way: « Here, 503 years ago, a family of wolves is resting in the heather », or « In this place, 67 million years ago, a female T.rex is sniffing out her next snack ».
Édith takes her turn at pointing out a spot: « Right there, in 111 years, there will be a big cedar tree ». Well, they have to do everything they can to make sure that tree grows there! As the cedar grows, it becomes a meeting place for local residents. Time goes by, and the town changes around it.
A social picturebook, as funny as it is moving, that talks about transmission, ecology and living together.

Featuring a hungry female T. rex!
