Overview

An original and poetic invitation to read the signs offered by nature like a book. In a stunning fjord, Catmarin, a slender and graceful bird, gathers the other shorebirds (seagull, cormorant, guillemot) to share his discovery: they all live in a vast open book, older and more alive than those found in libraries, as ancient as their glacier and as fresh as a breath of air. This book is the world around them. Some see only mountains, waves, trees, and rocks. However, a keen eye will discern that the down of new snow is as soft and untouched as a blank page, that the prominent mountain sets the scene, that the raindrops serve as commas punctuating the day, and that the waves enclose the belugas like brackets.
