Ours à New York, by Gaya Wisniewski
Everyday Aleksander has the same boring routine to go to work. He walks to his workplace located in a gloomy building. There he organises files all day long while his co-workers never actually notice him. But one day he meets an unusual creature: a bear sitting right in the middle of his path. The following day the bear is still there and he will try to encourage Aleksander to follow his dreams, along with an adorable fox plush. Will the two buddies succeed in helping Aleksander to get out of this routine and guide him to find his own path? And what if a couple of paintbrushes could change one’s life forever? So let’s hear the story of this big bear in a very big city and who is going to transform our young hero’s future!
