How does a child who never sets foot in a school grow up? What happens if they are born into an environment of absolute trust in their abilities and are only allowed to do activities that interest them, even if they seemingly spend the day "playing"? What is a life completely removed from expectations, routines, and established calendars like? André Stern was born into such an environment. He went through various learning processes. He became extraordinarily specialized in every subject that sparked his attention, in everything that interested him. He grew up and became a self-assured, sociable, enthusiastic adult... A musician, composer, luthier, author, and journalist who loves what he does.

André shares his experience and answers the questions he is so often asked: "Is his an exceptional case? Could it be replicated in any family? When and how did he learn to read, to add? Did he spend hours, days, at home with his family? Didn't he miss being surrounded by other children, like at school? What if he had wanted to be a lawyer, doctor, or architect?" An essential read within the educational world, and also for anyone who lives or works closely with children. A revealing book for mothers and fathers, who can clear up unknowns and perhaps put into practice many of the approaches that André, a child who never went to school, reveals to us.
