To pass on a little piece of Creole culture, nothing better than offering a book about our island. You will find a nice collection at the Côté Est Réunion store :
- Comics: they are easy to read and cover a multitude of themes. Our favorite: “5 Réunionnaises, cinq destins”, published by Epsilon and written by Gilles Gauvin and Jean-Marc Pécontal, which recounts a significant moment in the lives of five emblematic women of Reunion society.
- Sound books for little ones: they allow you to listen to sounds by playfully pressing chips hidden across the pages. Our favorite: the Séga/Maloya books from Zébulo Editions, which respectively introduce us to the traditional song “Dodo Sya” and the song “Mon mari pêcheur” by Georges Fourcade.
- Historical works: they teach us more about Reunion Island and its past. Our favorite: “History and heritage: A past found” by Serge Gélabert – Leveneur Bernard, which compares images taken in 1870, 2000 and 2021.
