What it’s about
The story of one shepherd's single-handed quest to re-forest a desolate valley in the foothills of the French Alps throughout the first half of the 20th century.
If your child is sensitive
If they get scared: under 7, a cuddle or a pause helps more than explaining it isn’t real. From 8, explaining does work.
