Story by Hélio Ziskind Songs by Hélio Ziskind and Bïa Illustrated by Pierre Pratt Performed by Bïa, Monica Freire, Thomas Hellman, Georges Moustaki, Paulo Ramos and Richard Séguin
A musical journey that tells the story of the Jequitiba, a giant and millennial tree in the heart of Brazil whose life has become seriously threatened. A singing superstar rooster and his friends—three chickens, a horse and a young boy—come to his rescue, recruiting an entire community to fight the vicious flames that rage throughout the forest. The songs accompanying the book, tinged with Brazilian rural acoustic sounds, punctuate this eco-themed story.
The illustrations are superb and the interpretations are tasteful and expressive. LA PRESSE
