Children's book | The Book of Hours of Jacominus Gainsborough

Rébecca Dautremer

content

A book of hours, what could that be?

Well, a whole life ...

Jacominus Gainsborough's.

The leaves in the park, the rain, the ebb.

Somersault, a farewell at the harbor, a reunion in a garden full of stones.

A picnic, a few races and a new shade under the almond tree.

All this.

One life.

Jacominus Gainsborough dreamed himself up on the moon, boarded a large ship, fell in love, buried his grandmother and romped around with his children. A completely normal life - and a fulfilled one. In her captivatingly beautifully illustrated book, Rébecca Dautremer tells of the ventures, adversities and moments of happiness that make our existence precious. And carefully opens up the important questions of life to its small and large readers.
