Overview
Une histoire drôle et loufoque accompagnée de chansons jazzy en cri!
Il était une fois un jeune lapin nommé Weeskits qui gambadait dans la forêt à la périphérie de Kisoos, une petite ville peuplée exclusivement de lapins, considérée le nombril du monde. Il avait des nouvelles très importantes à annoncer : Salamoo Cook, le grand chef de tous les lapins de la planète, était en route pour annoncer un mystérieux concours. Le prix qu’on pourrait gagner ? Un approvisionnement d’un an en jus de waaskee-choos fraîchement pressé à partir de cônes d’épinette. Weeskits arrivera-t-il à aider son frère Keegach en gagnant cette panacée qui guérirait sa femme souffrante du vilain manchoos ?
Cette histoire drôle et loufoque est suivie d’un glossaire cri-français à la fin du livre. Un code QR imprimé dans le livre, qui mène vers les principales plateformes de musique en continu, donne accès à la narration du conte en français et des neuf chansons en cri.
Once upon a magical time, a young rabbit named Weeskits hurried home to Kisoos—a town known as the Earth's belly button—to deliver some thrilling news. Salamoo Cook, the Grand Chief of all rabbits in the world, was on his way to announce a mysterious contest. The prize? A year's supply of all-healing waaskee-choos juice fresh from spruce cones that have just fallen. Would Weeskits be able to help his brother Keegach win the juice to rid his wife of the dreadful manchoos?
