Miette and her little brother live happily in a nourshing garden of a thousand colors, attentive to every last slug who comes to sample what they produce. The closness of their bond is unequalled, and their home a little paradise.
On a day of strong winds, Miette is whisked off, but luckily, the Stork lends a helping wing and brings her back home. Another day, caught off-guard by a gust, Miette is swept far away. Her heart filled with sadness, she surrenders to the wind. An unexpected coming-of-age odyssey ensues.
A book of lively colors, bursting with watercolor landscapes through which India-ink characters wander at the whim of gifted illustrator Herbéra. A story for learning about the strong ties between siblings, and an invitation for adults and children alive to travel while sitting still and to make their gardens grow.
