Iris boude sur son canapé. Petit frère dort, interdit de faire du bruit. Mais soudain elle entend un bruit léger, un tic-tac qui se transforme en chanson. C’est l’horloge qui lui parle, pas de doute ! Iris n’est pas au bout de ses surprises : dans la malle à doudous, la fête a démarré, elle se propage dans le salon, les jouets sont déchaînés, et Iris avec eux. Et bien sûr, avec ce raffut, Petit frère a fini par se réveiller, et voilà qu’une course infernale commence. Ce dimanche devient de plus en plus intéressant, et on n’a pas encore déjeuné…

The author

Charlotte Erlih was born in 1978. A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure and holder of the agrégation in Modern Literature, she taught Performing Arts at university before dedicating herself to writing and directing in 2008. From her first short films, adapted from texts by Maylis de Kerangal, she has interwoven literature, live performance, and cinema in her work, enjoying blurring the boundaries between genres.

She has published around twenty works, mainly in young adult and children’s literature (novels, comics, picture books), including Bacha Posh, 20 Feet Underground, and The Last Wrong Note, which have won numerous awards in France and abroad.

Her debut, Funambules, was published by Grasset. In 2023, she wrote and co-directed (with M.-P. Camus) her first documentary, A French Woman in Kabul, which won the Audience Award at the Pessac International Historical Film Festival and the Terre(s) d’Histoire – INA Award at FIGRA.
