A delight to read. Big sister Adèle picks up Simon from school. On their way home, they chat with acquaintances, see a parade, visit a museum, watch a puppet show in the park, and more!
Adèle greatly tires of helping Simon always find his things but is a good big sister. Ultimately, the community ends up helping him.
The back of the book reveals that the illustrations were actually drawn from real locations in France and gives a little blurb about each one. Very neat.
