Reading is good for language development. It increases and enriches the vocabulary, making it easier for the child to put his own thoughts into words. Reading can also contribute to social development. A child can put himself in the shoes of different characters and learns that one can think differently about a situation or event than the other. Reading also improves the child's ability to concentrate and can stimulate the imagination.

A giant mountain has towered above the landscape for countless years. An ancient history takes place around it. Every new resident, animal or human, makes adjustments to the environment with his habits, buildings and inventions, but the mountain itself? It remains immutable and is the silent witness of it all. With The valley, Anne-Hélène Dubray sketches the evolution of the earth: from the origin of the dinosaurs and the arrival of man, to even a new world under water. Although the landscape is constantly changing, the mountain remains rock solid.
