The country of the giant trees A tale by Arnaud de Buchy Pedagogical content by Emmanuelle Reyss & Jean-Baptiste Lorenzo Illustrated by Sonia Grandame & Joachim Hérissé Le Regard Sonore Editions
The day shook its last colors upon the surface of the waves. Moko approached the shore. Immense trees lined the coast, hiding the sunset. Moko tied his boat and started walking, full of hope.
"I must finally be at the end of the world", Moko said to himself. As he walked deeper into the forest, he noticed gigantic shadows, dancing, in holes of light, at the bottom of big trees. The fruit, bigger than the moon, dangled at the tip of the branches. Moko walked for a long time, for so long that he started to wonder if this forest had an end.
