«Catherine Certitude» is the children's novel by Patrick Modiano, illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé, in a French-English bilingual edition from Gallimard (112 pages).
Catherine wears glasses like her father and must take them off in dance class, which complicates her dream of becoming a ballerina like her mother, who lives in New York. Without the glasses, the world becomes soft and blurred, and she feels as if she is dancing inside a dream; with them, she sees reality sharp and everyday.
Paperback edition from the Folio collection (Gallimard Education), published in November 2005; the original work appeared in 1988.
Work from the children's and young adult catalogue, with bilingual text, intended for young readers and for those approaching reading in French and English.
