''Rouge-queue', French Language Book
March 20, spring equinox. Acacia savanna, Africa.
" Quickly ! one last wash before departure, "Redtail thought to himself, for he's leaving tonight. He knows it, but he can't explain it. His parents, his grandparents knew, and his children will know too. Four chapters, four families, four seasons.
Between migration, encounters, children's games and intergenerational transmission, tricks and magnificent songs, the seasons pass by and with them, the ballet of birds. Anne Crausaz recounts, with a new voice but still just as accurately, the daily life of four species of birds.
French description
''20 mars, équinoxe de printemps. Savane à acacias, Afrique.
« Vite ! une dernière lessive avant le départ », se dit Rouge-queue, car c’est ce soir qu’il s’en va. Il le sait, mais il ne peut l’expliquer. Ses parents, ses grands-parents savaient, et ses enfants sauront aussi. Quatre chapitres, quatre familles, quatre saisons.
Entre migration, rencontres, jeux d’enfants et transmission intergénérationelle, ruses et chants magnifiques, les saisons défilent et avec elles, le ballet des oiseaux. Anne Crausaz raconte, avec une nouvelle voix mais toujours autant de justesse, le quotidien de quatre espèces d’oiseaux.''
