"One day, a very, very, very long time ago, the father of the father of the father of the father of the father of the father, saw the birth of the father of the father of the father of the father of the father. " Thus begins this long story, which from generation to generation, from dad to dad has come closer to us. The increasingly small Russian dolls unfurl, each decorated with animals and flowers, each in a different color. It’s very, very long, long ago, not long ago… and here we are!

We are pleased to give back their place to dads, whom we sometimes forget ... All-carton book
