An environmental fable ; Celebrates the resilience of Nature and human creativity ; By the same creators of I Just Want to be Super ! Longue description pour KSP : A rusty haze has fallen over the city, forcing all the people to stay inside. Jackie, a young girl who loves to draw, keeps up her spirits by drawing all the wildlife she can see from her window, especially the mountain where she used to go for strolls and draw in her sketchbook. As the days wear on into weeks and months, Jackie gradually loses the heart to do anything, even to draw. But one day, in the canal below her window, a dolphin leaps into the air. Soon, a moose, an eagle and other animals begin to appear throughout the city—a sight so inspiring that, in a burst of renewed energy, Jackie creates a wondrous drawing unlike any she has ever made, one that will carry her higher and farther than she ever dreamed she could go. An environmentalist fable inspired by stories of places reclaimed by nature, this breathtaking adventure, beautifully illustrated in a soft painterly style, celebrates the resilience of both the natural world and human creativity and will have young readers picking up their pencils for some nature drawing of their own.
