Christine lived in a small town under the endless skies of Manitoba where time passed the slowest in the world in the great heat of summer. She explored its streets on roller skates or stilts, to go faster or see farther. One morning, under the leaves of a small maple tree, she discovered an old man, Mr. Saint-Hilaire, who invited her to spend a whole day on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. A universal album all in poetry which relates to childhood, friendship and the attraction for large spaces. The disc that accompanies the book offers a warm and reassuring reading of the tale, followed by 13 songs with melodies that are both simple and refined.
