«À la poursuite de Kim» is Bernard Ashley's children's novel, published by Gallimard in paperback (80 pages, in French).
Kim gets into bed and distances herself from the conversations of those around her. They judge her wrongly, though what they think isn't true: what occupies her is the sea, a force that attracts her so much that she can't stop thinking about it as she tries to fall asleep.
The book, illustrated by Christophe Blain and translated by Pascale Houssin, belongs to the Folio Cadet Rouge collection. Published in 1993.
For child and young adult readers; being in French, it is suitable for those who read in this language.
