Une seconde, papillon ! by Pierre Coran and Carl Norac, illustrated by Cécile Gambini

The two poets, father and son, write together for the first time! Forty tiny poems about time, the ephemeral and the joy of watching the years go by together. . . Or how to learn to think while feeling. Cécile Gambini’s delicate illustrations add a delightful counterpoint to the poems. A precious little book that makes an ideal gift.

I found a particular moment / no greater than the others. 

It was in no hurry to be itself / because it can take a whole lifetime to be oneself / whether one is a moment or not.
