Dive into the magical world of Brazilian folklore! On the occasion of the Brazil-France 2025 Season, the Bibliothèque Jeunesse Diderot invites your children to a creative workshop inspired by Ghislaine Herbéra's illustrated book Bestiaire fabuleux du Brésil, this Wednesday, May 7, 2025. The workshop offers a playful, artistic immersion into an imaginary world populated by colorful, mythical beings. An enchanted interlude designed to awaken curiosity, creativity and a love of storytelling in the very young.
Organized in partnership with the bookshop La Terrasse de Gutenberg, this workshop is part of Temps fort Brésil, a cultural program celebrating the bridges between French and Brazilian cultures. Children from all backgrounds are invited to discover the fabulous creatures of the Brazilian bestiary through the fine, evocative illustrations of Ghislaine Herbéra, an artist with a passion for popular traditions and stories.
This moment of exchange and creation takes place in a Parisian library transformed, for the occasion, into a small theater of shadows and colors, where each child becomes the puppeteer of his or her own imaginary world.
By making fabulous puppets, children will bring these figures from Amazonian oral histories to life: sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always fascinating. Guided step-by-step, they can cut out, assemble and decorate their own creature, while discovering the stories that surround them.
Thisworkshop time is also an opportunity to share a convivial and instructive moment, combining manual pleasure and cultural openness. An ideal moment for a family outing, or even to offer your child an original activity during the school year.
At the end of theworkshop, Ghislaine Herbéra will be on hand to sign the book Bestiaire fabuleux du Brésil. A unique opportunity to take home a personalized book, full of memories and creativity. The event continues with an exhibition of the book's illustrations, inviting participants to extend the visual adventure through the pages and the eyes.

Reservations have been open since April 16, 2025, with the librarians, by e-mail with the following information: Last name, First name, Age and Phone number.
