Bertolt
Bertolt
Written & illustrated by Jacques Goldstyn Translated from French by Claudia Zoe Bedrick A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of 2017! This is a charming, touching story about an imaginative boy whose best friend is an oak tree named Bertolt. The boy admits to being an outsider, but insists that while he is alone, he is never lonely. Being independent suits him, and he considers his difference to be his advantage. This book is about the imagination and the wonderful ways in which we nurture ourselves in the process of becoming who we are, and because Bertolt dies in a winter's storm, it is also a book about finitude and loss, sorrow and acceptance.
