Le Cerveau - livre de coloriage et apprentissage: volume 1
by Dr. Maria Zamfir & Dr. Marion Van Horn
​
En tant que neuroscientifiques, nous avons passé des années à mener des expériences, afin d’étudier les détails complexes du fonctionnement du cerveau. Mais nous sommes aussi des mamans qui observons et aidons chaque jour à libérer le potentiel des jeunes cerveaux de nos enfants.
Pour partager nos connaissances avec d’autres enfants, nous avons préparé et assemblé ce livre de coloriage amusant et éducatif afin qu’il puisse vous servir de guide, en vous présentant le cerveau, à vous et votre famille!
Vous y découvrirez au fil des pages une collection de personnages originaux issus de la Famille Neurone de Maria, inspirés des vrais cellules trouvées dans le cerveau. Ces personnages vous guideront de façon ludique pendant que vous plongez dans l’univers fantastique du cerveau et de son fonctionnement.
Les activités pratiques, les blagues et les pages de coloriage de ce livre sont conçues pour stimuler l’apprentissage des petits et des grands, et enrichir votre compréhension du cerveau.
Nous avons également inclus des chapeaux en forme de cerveau pour enfants et adultes. Vous pourrez les découper et les porter pendant que vous explorez le livre.
" Ce livre à colorier est un excellent outil pédagogique pour initier les jeunes (et les moins jeunes) à l’univers des neurosciences. Les joyeux personnages nous offrent une magnifique opportunité de redécouvrir le plaisir de prendre le temps de colorier et d’apprécier ce que les arts visuels peuvent apporter aux cerveaux de tous âges.

Clean Water for Lukong​
​
Clean Water for Lukong is the story of a day in the life of a little boy named Lukong, who lives in Kumbo, Cameroon. Lukong is learning about the importance of clean water, and how proud he feels to play a role in the family by helping get the water from the public stand tap, keeping it clean, and helping with related tasks.
Written by Pat Moore, and illustrated by Mary Moore, this book serves both for literacy, and to teach about clean water. It is a beautiful book for young readers, and informs western kids about a day in the life of another culture. As of February 2011, 100 of these books have made their way to Kumbo, for kids in the local reading centre, the library, and neighbourhood schools and homes. The book is making its way to children through the Kumbo Water Authority Improvement Project. Five books have also made their way to children in Ghana. Our “buy a copy for Africa” program enables you to contribute to literacy and education about clean water in Africa. Each copy you buy for Africa will be sent to Cameroon and/or other locations in Africa.
