Bernadette GervaisPetite Et Grande Ourses

Bernadette Gervais’ album explores with accuracy and simplicity the mechanisms of persecution, emotional abuse and denial. Little Bear is proud to be Pandora’s daughter. In truth, Pandora is not exactly her mother, but she took her in so long ago that Little Bear has no memory of a previous life. She, who thinks she’s so silly, is incredibly lucky to live with someone who knows so much! While Pandora reads and learns, Little Bear takes care of everything: the garden, the shopping, the cooking. But Pandora is always upset and keeps telling her how stupid she is, how mean she is, how unfair she is… The situation evoked in this book arises in various contexts (family, friends, couple), but Bernadette Gervais brings a universal answer: there is always someone to help us.
