Ages 6-8 - 7 minutes

A very long summer

After a long winter, the sun wakes the men from the Great North and frees the fisher boats from ice. The village's fishermen leave the colored houses leaning on the hill, and joyfully busy themselves in the small harbor. They sing, they dance! Yet, sitting on the wooden pontoon, Niels is worried. A bird told him that snowmen are heavily sweating and that the neighboring mountains are shedding their white coat. Niels turns to the horizon and tells himself that maybe, one day, it'll be too hot for polar bears...

In blue and black shades, the virtuous images by Cécile Serres go with the sensitive text by Niels Thorez on a current subject: global warming, and the disappearance of species, specifically polar bears.

"A very long summer" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
