This highly original picture book sensitively depicts the series of discoveries that happen right after birth: the smell of the air, colors, light, drizzle, the darkness of night, fear, the vastness of the landscape...
Sweeping panoramic images, which Zaü lays out in dry pastels, splendidly capture the elements and the emotion in those first few moments. Vibrant landscapes. A magical journey into nature's heart.
As the pages go by, so do the seasons. We slowly realize that all who live in the world share these discoveries, even the fox kit as it ventures from its den for the first time...
