Sébastien Lemay English/French Storytelling Performances Tales of the natural world (Grades: K - 4 ) Listening to these musical tales that draw on the four seasons will build students’ respect for our environment. Makwa the Bear and the North Star (Autumn) Makwa seeks shelter for the winter. The animals in the forest help him on his quest, but he only truly finds his way once he identifies the North Star. The Otter Dream (Winter) Boni the otter dreams of funny things but learns that it is the journey that counts; her friends and family help her along the way as she overcomes her difficulties. The Magic Lake (Spring) Rainbow, the curious lake trout, seeks the light and is tricked into an early spring. Bougon the pike causes trouble, which leads to disaster. A reminder of our need to respect the rhythms of nature. The Adventures of Monarch Butterfly (Summer) Monarch is the only one of his clan to have survived the drought. When faced with this loss of community, he sets out on a journey and finds new friends and family. 38 Literary Arts The Centenary Tree (Grades: K - 6 ) Sébastien tells the story of the preservation of the centenary tree thanks to Emma, Gaby and the magical creatures inhabiting this tree.
