The breath of the wind

Floating in the sky in her hot air balloon, Aya observes the aerial ballet of the little swifts which dive and soar through the air. During their long migration which leads them to the other end of the Earth, where the young Kûn awaits them impatiently, the swifts witness the forces of the wind in all its majesty. It shapes the landscapes, makes the leaves of the trees dance and awakes with fury, whipping the ocean waves and creating a spiral of hurricane clouds that burst with power.

From arid deserts to the vast expanses of the ocean, this superbly illustrated album retraces, through the eyes of children separated by thousands of kilometers, the extraordinary journey of the swifts carried by the breath of the wind.
