Like all boys, Martin had a zizi, and this zizi didn't cause him any problems. Of course, from time to time, Martin worried a little. He wondered if one day his zizi would look like his dad's zizi. But that's normal, all boys wonder about that. So, everything was going quite well �

That is, everything was going well until one day in the locker room the big bully Adrian started making fun of Martin's zizi in front of everybody ! Poor Martin. And to make matters worse, Martin and the bully wanted to be the boyfriend of Anais, the prettiest girl in school. Push came to shove, and the boys decided to have a pissing contest. So how does our story end ? Is it true that in the littlest of packages come the greatest gifts?  Lenain's jolly text is joined happily with Poulin's exquisite but hilarious illustrations to make this a wonderful book for parents and children to share and enjoy together.

Les droits de ce texte qu'on m'avait refusé en France (ha ! ha!) et que j'ai publié au Québec ont été achetés par l'éditeur texan Cinco Punto Press. Hasard : c'est cet éditeur qui a publié l'album pour enfants du sous-commandant Marcos, The Story of colors, et que j'avais contacté pour lui dire que j'allais tout faire pour que l'ouvrage paraisse aussi ici. Depuis, Syros l'a édité : La Grande histoire des couleurs.

Great news! I have been recommending this book for years. Unfortunately most kids in the US still won't see it with this publisher...
