«Tistou les pouces verts» is the children's story by Maurice Druon, published by Hachette Jeunesse Roman in paperback (190 pages, in French).
Tistou always falls asleep in class; his father, a rich cannon merchant, sends him to the school of life. With the gardener Moustache, Tistou discovers that just touching the ground makes flowers bloom instantly. With his green thumbs he transforms the city, fills the prison and the hospital with plants, and shows that nature is stronger than weapons.
Originally published in 1957, the work is number 3 in the Cadet collection of Livre de Poche Jeunesse.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, as well as for adults who want to rediscover a classic of French children's literature.
