About this book
This comforting fully illustrated novel made of 60 chapters stages
attaching animals who share stories at the heart of the forest.Poor Badger: the roof of his burrow has fallen over him, he is wounded and must stay still. To distract him during his recovery, his friend Hare invites the neighbours to come spend the evenings chatting and sharing stories...
These evenings soon become unmissable gatherings: tales, poems,memories… Night after night, story after story, the animals unveil themselves, bond, and face their past. In this illustrated novel made of 60 short chapters, we come across deep, attaching characters: the animals who meet every night, but also the ones who aren’t there and are talked about…
• A generous book that underlines the importance of stories: telling the world helps to understand it.
• A great story divided into chapters, to be enjoyed reading together, night after night.
• Émilie Seron’s illustrations pay a vibrating tribute to the life of the forest and its inhabitants.
