James with his kites is me with my books. Don't touch it, don't open them too much, don't rip the pages !
James is a Kite Collector. He works for his money then buys them and keep them all pinned to a wall, beautifully arranged and most importantly : safe. That's how he collects them. How he likes to have them.
"When he got home, he added it to his collection.
It was magnificent."
Until his little sister who takes her first steps grabs one with her tiny hands. James doesn't like this. But with talking and acceptance, he works to fine a fitting solution for the both of them : he buys GG a kite ! It's hers and if she wants to make it fly she can.
It's a nice tiny story to read to siblings, to make them understand and learn how to navigate with smaller children who don't understand "no" and "dangerous". Who have another way of playing with the toys or things in their bedroom, or outside... Even it means the toy will get some scrapes and tangling.

James loves kites. James has a little sister Gigi. In this book as we watch Gigi grow, she comes to love her brother’s kites. Her brother‘s kites are not just given to him. He works hard to buy them himself. And when he’s worried that Gigi might harm one of his favorite things, he works even harder to buy her kind of her own. They even eventually fly it. This book was endearing. It was bright. It was beautiful and full of heart. The illustrations are an older style. Reminds me very much of Madeleine. I loved it from beginning to end.
