Miffy aime rendre visite à ses grands-parents. Quand son grand-père lui fabrique une magnifique trottinette en bois, Miffy est folle de joie. Elle s'amuse dans le jardin, puis prépare une surprise pour sa grand-mère. Ils goûtent tous ensemble, mais le temps passe vite en si bonne compagnie, il est déjà l'heure de rentrer pour Miffy, qui s'en va sur sa trottinette flambant neuve!
Miffy est née le 21 juin 1955, lorsque l'artiste hollandais Dick Bruna a dessiné pour la première fois ce personnage pour divertir son jeune fils lors de vacances pluvieuses en Hollande. S'en suit alors une série de livres aux illustrations simples et aux textes en rimes qui explore toutes les thématiques universelles de l'enfance.
Ce personnage, véritable œuvre d'art, a immédiatement valu à Bruna une reconnaissance internationale en tant qu'auteur et artiste. Les dessins se caractérisent par des formes simples (très arrondies) et des aplats de couleur entourés d'un épais trait noir. Il utilise très peu de couleurs par planche, et quasiment uniquement le blanc, le bleu, le vert, le rouge, le jaune, le marron et le noir.
65 ans plus tard, les livres de Miffy se sont vendus à plus de 90 millions d'exemplaires et sont actuellement publiés dans plus de 50 langues.
Jalen DeLuca applies his baseball genius to his own playing in the follow-up to Tim Green and Derek Jeter's New York Times bestselling novel Baseball Genius.
Jalen DeLuca loves baseball. But he's more than just a fan and a talented player; Jalen is a baseball genius. He can analyze and predict almost exactly what a pitcher is going to do with his next pitch. His unique ability helped him save the career of the Yankees's star baseman, James "JY" Yager, by signaling the pitches from the stands.
Now turning his focus to his own baseball career, Jalen has to put his genius into action in new and untested ways. But without the stats and information he has on the pro players, analyzing the pitchers seems impossible. And even if he knows what the pitch will be, actually hitting it takes more than intuition.
As if the pressure of the team and drama with his friends weren't enough, one major event changes everything—Jalen's mom comes back into his life. Can Jalen work through it all to hit a grand slam and make his baseball dreams a reality?
