Bernard Plossu photographed his children regularly "before the age of reason", gathering along the way their most memorable turns of phrase: "My tummy is talking!"; "One day I want to be a baby again"; "I want to catch my shadow, Dad"; "You're going to be old soon!"; "See, I'm an artist too?"; "Have I changed since I turned five?"; "The church thinks it's touching the sky!"; "Rosé is made from roses"; "It's good being dead, there's nothing to do."
