Le dessin de Charlie

When a rust-colored mist settles over the city, Charlie keeps her spirits up by drawing everything nature offers from her window, including the mountain she used to visit with her sketchbook. As the days, then weeks and months, go by, Charlie gradually loses the heart to do anything at all—even to take out her pencils. But one beautiful morning, in the canal that flows right below her home, a dolphin leaps high into the air. Soon, a moose, an eagle, and several other animals begin to roam the city—a sight that inspires Charlie to get back to work and create a drawing like none she’s ever made before. Poignantly illustrated in a luminous style, this environmental tale celebrates the resilience of the natural world and human creativity, and will inspire children to go outside and sketch their own vision of the world.

"Le dessin de Charlie" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
