Solar – Cinematic Art Gallery is hosting the “Conto Contigo” reading series, a program featuring short story readings and plenty of fun activities, designed for children and families, which takes place on the second Saturday of every month. Led by Xana Miranda, the event includes dramatized readings of children’s stories, followed by a surprise activity and a light snack.

The fourth session takes place on June 13th, at 3:30 p.m., with a reading of the book “Trop de Bananes” by Rémi Courgeon, a fun and heartwarming story about the tender and deep bond between a little girl and her grandfather. Each session will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Participation is free, but requires prior registration.

As part of the ANIMAR 21 side program, this series aims to introduce children to literature in a fun and interactive way, while also encouraging family reading time.

TROP DE BANANES
Rémi Courgeon · 2026

Without her grandfather, Any wouldn’t be Any. He is the guiding light of her life. An old man with wheels who has been painting the sea for over eighty years, every single day. Any also draws every day—everything and anything. The little mice the cat brings her, her grandfather’s hands. Until, during a vacation, she discovers what truly captivates her: banana peels. No one knows what she sees in them, not even her grandfather, nor Max, her best friend. But the years go by, and Any’s obsession grows, one banana at a time.

Inspired by the 365 days during which Rémi Courgeon drew a banana peel every day, “Trop de Bananes” is a vibrant and unusual picture book about passion, friendship, and artistic expression.
