Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Comme la plupart d'entre nous, Olivier cherche sa place. Pourtant, cette pièce de casse-tète ne semble aller nulle part. Comme il ne réussit pas à s'intégrer, il essaie de changer sa forme et sa couleur. Il entre ainsi dans le moule pendant un moment, mais réalise qu'il est inconfortable, et pas très heureux. Pire, il se fait rapidement démasquer par les autres: il n'est pas l'un des leurs.

Il n'abandonne pas son exploration et trouve enfin un casse-tète dans lequel il a sa place. La preuve que tout finit toujours par s'emboîter. Cet album de Cale Atkinson est une magnifique métaphore sur la quète identitaire, sur le besoin de trouver sa place.

Oliver has always dreamed about where he will fit. Will he be in the mane of a unicorn? The claw of a dinosaur? The helmet of an astronaut? When he finally goes in search of his perfect place, he finds that trying to fit in is a lot harder than he thought. But like any puzzle, a little trial and error leads to a solution, and Oliver figures out exactly where he belongs.

Olivier cherche sa place is a sweet and funny story that explores all the highs and lows of learning to be yourself and shows that fitting in isn't always the best way to find where you fit.
