Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Ernest s'amuse aux commandes de son cerf-volant quand celui-ci se retrouve coincé entre les branches d'un arbre. Au même moment, un bruit fracassant se fait entendre... Curieux de savoir ce qui s'est passé, Ernest grimpe au sommet d'une montagne abrupte. Il est tellement effrayé par ce qu'il voit qu'il a se cache. Mais peu à peu, il se rend compte que la créature qu'il croyait être un monstre a plutôt besoin d'aide. Tous deux parviennent à se comprendre et à s'entraider, si bien qu'à la fin, ils deviennent amis.

En mettant l'accent sur les illustrations saisissantes et le texte simple, cette histoire invite les lecteurs à réfléchir au-delà des premières impressions tout en abordant des thèmes d'actualité, tels que la célébration de la diversité et l'ouverture de soi.

Ernest is flying his kite when it gets stuck in a tree. At the same moment, there's a flash in the sky, followed by a loud crash. He sets out on a difficult journey up a mountain to find out what happened. Shocked by what he sees at the top, Ernest at first hides in fear. But he soon begins to see that the creature he thought was a monster is someone who needs help. They find ways to understand one another, and solve their problems together. In the end, there are no more strangers, only friends.

Told in spare text and perfectly paced art in panels and full pages, this visually rich story brings through themes that are both timely and perennial -- to challenge first impressions, to find strength in difference, and to see important needs we share.
