Julian and Anisa and the Miracle of Wacholder Park

Julian prefers collecting words and writing poetry than playing soccer. Anisa is cheeky and loud---a dazzling girl who whirls through the park. Julian doesn't know much about her, but he likes the letters in her name. Julian is rather delicate and is always being bullied. One day, Anisa intervenes and challenges the surprised attacker to a penalty shootout. After that, nothing is the same for Julian.

Benjamin Lebert tells the story gently, with a lot of warmth and a very fine sense of how strong the one who shows weakness is. Also for children for whom reading is not yet easy.
