The Rikiki Ant

The story : "Who am I ?" This is the question posed by Rikiki, the little ant. She was born an ant and feels like a cicada. Should she, to live in harmony, attend to the occupations of her ant friends? For who : To understand social pressure and to be able to stay who you are. In regards to : To accompany your album, you will find this tale, in music, on the Pourpenser podcast. Read by Aline de Pétigny. Accompanied on the piano by Armel Dupas. A 16-page book on the theme of the quest for identity, written and illustrated by Aline de Pétigny. Beneath its bright and innocent colours, this book is perhaps one of the most subversive in the catalogue. With Rikiki, the question arises whether it is better to do what one should or what one loves. Should we live within the framework imposed on us by habits, customs, education when this framework constrains us and leads us to deny our nature? And what is our nature? This book hides its game well and if the first level of reading is aimed at children from 3 years old, adults will also find food for thought. This book was selected by the teachers and journalists of the magazine "Education Enfantine" to take part in the readers' prize in June 2006.
