What's the source of this GIF?

>>15926368
are you serious? You've never heard of Beatrix Potter????

>>15926368
It's from the BBC animated adaption of Beatrix Potter's works, The World of Peter Rabbits and Friends:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Peter_Rabbit_and_Friends

It's very soulful and true to Beatrix Potter's works, but I still prefer reading her works.

The Little Prince is great OP, it's still one of my favourite book (be sure to get her the version with the watercolours). She might be too young to read it by herself be you can read it to her for peak brother-sister bonding.

The Christmas one

Get her some translated Prevert's poetry, it's fun and cute.

For a dead leaf's funeral
Two snails set off
They've blacked up their shells
Put black bands on their horns
They set off in the evening
A lovely autumn eve
Alas, when they arrive
Spring has already come
The leaves, which were dead
Have all come back to life
And the two snails
Are very downhearted
But out comes the sun
And the sun says to them
Take, take the trouble
The trouble to sit down
Take a glass of beer
If that's what you fancy
Take, if you'd like to
The coach up to Paris
It's leaving tonight
You'll see the world
But don't wear mourning
You mark my words
It makes you look ugly
And blacks out your eyes
All this coffin business
Is grim and not nice
Take back your colours
The colours of life
And then all the animals
Trees and plants too
Break out into song
And sing loud and true
They sing the song of life
The song of summer
And they all have a drink
And their glasses they clink
It's a beautiful evening
A lovely summer's eve
And so our two snails
Back for home they leave
They leave full of emotion
They leave full of joy
And they leave full of beer
So they stumble and swoon
But up in the sky
Looking down is the moon

OP's sister is seven, she's obviously not going to read Mallarmé or Eliot.

>>15925243
You can't go wrong with Astrid Lindgren's Emil of Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof and The Six Bullerby Children books. The distilled extract of the best childhood.
Or Tove Jansson's the Moomin books.

Ah sorry then! I didn’t quite understand your pic and since many snobbish people like to pretend Prevert is trash because they confound simplicity with mediocrity I was on the defensive. But yeah it’s a funny name.
