The Kintsugi Bear - Children's book - Victoire de Changy and Marine Schneider - Editions Cambourakis, 2019
This is the story of a bear named Kinstugi who falls one morning from the top of a very high mountain. It takes the courage, patience and ingenuity of a little girl to help Kinstugi recover and regain his self-esteem. This fable is about the physical and psychological suffering caused by traumatic events. "Leave me alone, I'm not a pretty sight", the bear tells the little girl, feeling so wounded in his body and image. The story subtly brings in the art of Kinstugi, with the little girl repairing her damaged body with her doll's hair made of gold thread, and giving the Kinstugi Bear enough strength and self-esteem to climb back up the mountain and proudly show off to the whole valley.
