In the unique landscape of the French countryside during World War II, Lorenzo lives among the salt flats and the flamingos. There are lots of things he doesn't understand– but he does know how to heal animals, how to talk to them: the flamingos especially. He loves routine, and music too, and every week he goes to market with his mother.
It’s there he meets Kezia, a Roma girl who helps her parents run their carousel– and who shows him how to ride the wooden horse as the music plays. But then German soldiers come with their guns. Everything is falling apart: the carousel, Kezia and her family, even Lorenzo's beloved flamingos. Yet Lorenzo senses who to trust, and how to hope, even when everything he knows is threatened.
Hard cover.
