Book Le jardin de Juliette et Joséphine « Le gendarme » - Les Petits Zécolos

In this sixth volume of Le jardin de Juliette et Joséphine, children meet a fascinating and often overlooked insect: the firebug.

Recognizable by its pretty red-and-black shell, this little insect intrigues children but sometimes has a bad reputation. Yet, contrary to popular belief, the firebug is a valuable garden ally.

Page after page, Juliette and Joséphine invite young readers to discover how it lives, its role in the ecosystem and why preserving biodiversity matters.
