«Catherine» is the children's novel by Patrick Modiano illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé, published by Blackie Books in hardback (96 pages, in Catalan).
Little Catherine grows up in Paris with her father and wears glasses like him; her mother, in New York, fuels her desire to become a dancer. Having to take them off to dance, she discovers two realities: the everyday one she sees with them and another soft, delicate daydream. That gift lets her glimpse the oddities of the adult world and decide whether to look straight ahead or not.
Work originally appeared in 1988 as «Catherine Certitude», by Patrick Modiano, Nobel Prize in Literature 2014, translated by Isabel Obiols.
Ideal reading for children aged 8 to 9 who are starting out in narrative, within the children's and young adult catalogue.
