La Pastèque publishes a birth book! The idea had been running through their heads since they each became parents... The meeting with the illustrator Francis Léveillée and with the journalist Ève Dumas made it possible to make the project a reality. If, moreover, Feed produces the book, then we are in... strollers!
To record the memory of all your little beast's first times... First smile, first anger, first pee on you...
