Ma mère est une panthère, by Malika Doray

My Mom is a panther… especially when she’s angry. When we’re late, she’s a jaguar… who turns into an orangutan when she has free time. It’s almost in a twinkle of an eye when the child’s mother becomes a dolphin, a monkey, a wolf or a crab. Each situation has its own special metamorphosis. When the panther is away, the mother — the father or any adult parenting — is all the animals at the same time. And for the child, he’ll be whatever he wants to be.

In her new picture book, Malika Doray renews her world by introducing a human child as the main character. But she doesn’t forget our different animal facets.
