Commentary: Poussière
A “too cute” speck of dust, as the children would say. The idea of personifying dust is reminiscent of the “Noiraudes”, soot ball characters in the cartoon My Neighbor Totoro directed by Hayao Miyazaki. But beyond this adorable and touching character, the idea that grains of dust could preserve the memory of humans is very poetic. Children, from 2 years old, will really enjoy discovering this touching story and following the adventures of the hero and school teachers will be able to develop the theme with their students: And if dust had memory... Good luck!
