Two children feel adrift between the separate worlds of their parents â¦
With their father at the marina, and their mother in the workshop, Flo and Fée arenât sure where they belong. But at least they can still have fun painting the treasures that wash up on the shore.
One day they hear a noise and see a stone trace an arc across the sky â it must be from Henriâs giant slingshot! They decide to go see him, but first stop at the café, where they chat with the piano player, then visit their artist-friend in her shop. When they finally reach Henri, he lifts them up onto ladders where they can see two islands that were once connected by an ice bridge. âHave the two islands separated? Like Maman and Papa?â Flo asks. But Henri tells them thereâs a sand bridge underwater that links the islands, just as the girls still link their parents. Then he, like the piano player and artist, walks away with a brush and can of paint. Where can they all be going?
This richly nuanced story is inspired by the geography and close-knit coastal community of La Grave heritage site on Quebecâs Ãles de la Madeleine. The French edition, Des couleurs sur la grave, won the prix Harry Black de lâalbum jeunesse.
