Petit Bonheurs Sherbrooke 2012 is "a cultural rendez-vous for the children of Estrie", from 0 to 6 years, which will be offering theatrical performances evolving around puppets, circus, dance, musical concerts, storytelling, film and many other activities. For Louisette Dusseault, who brought us 'la Souris Verte' for 5 years, before an eager audience of young television viewers, the skepticism of such a performance was replaced with unmatchable enthusiasm: "I was amazed at the means with which the artists have found to awaken these young minds, to amuse them and children, involving them in a world of imagery and fantasy!"

Activities for the enjoyment of both parents and children (Sherbrooke), include Pattes fourchues, Pattes Poilues (3 – 5 yrs) on Saturday, April 28, 2012, at the Musée des Sciences – 9 a.m., 10 a.m. & 11 a.m. ; Fête au village (2 – 6 years) at Centre Jean-Besré on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 11 a.m. & 1:30 p.m.; Danser au musée (5 – 6yrs) at the Musée des Beaux-arts on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 9:10 a.m. & 1 p.m.; La lune est à moi (4 – 10 yrs) on Sunday, May 6, 2012 at the Centre Culturel de l'Université de Sherbrooke.
