Mediaprint Captain Rozali

In 2018, on the 100th anniversary of the First World War, this book was one of the three books selected by "Le Figaro" to explain the First World War to children. Captain Rozali is the story of a little girl caught in the turmoil of the First World War. Rozali is a little girl of 5 and a half years old, full of imagination carried by the weight of the war and the absence of her father. The mother reads the letters that the father sends, but Rozalia doubts their true content, so she begins a search for the truth. This book brings a very subtle story to such a difficult subject. A war story that is likely to provoke deep and complex responses. Timothee de Fombelle has put all his art into this touching story; the admirable simplicity of the words, the tenderness of the gaze, the precision of every detail and the power of the story when the fragility of Rosalia's world is brutally violated by the truth of war. The author has brought with much love and emotion the experience of this little girl, which comes with the so accomplished illustrations of Isabelle Arsenault.
