Book Description
In this story about a young girl named Spark and her friend Falcon set in the Sedona valley, the author brings to life for young readers the awe, mystery, beauty, and joy found within all of nature in evocative language that both feeds the imagination and nourishes the spirit. Although this story is intended for young readers, adult readers will also enjoy this beautiful, mystical tale. Spark’s joy of being in nature, whether through play or contemplation, brought her to Red Rock Mesa and her solid friend Rock. This is where she also met a special bird, full of wisdom: Falcon. Voici l’histoire, sise dans la vallée de Sedona, d’une jeune fille prénommée Spark et de son ami Faucon. L’auteure donne vie à l’émerveillement, au mystère, à la beauté et à la joie que l’on ressent lorsque l’on arpente la nature, en employant pour ses jeunes lecteurs un langage évocateur qui stimule l’imagination et nourrit l’esprit. Ce récit à la fois beau et mystique ravira tout autant les adultes que les jeunes auxquels il est principalement destiné. La joie que Spark ressent en pleine nature, qu’elle arpente par le biais du jeu ou de la contemplation, l’a conduite jusqu’au plateau des rochers rouges et à son ami le rocher, Rock. C’est là aussi qu’elle a rencontré un oiseau très spécial, empreint de sagesse : Faucon.
