The Cunning Clan

Tonight is the Costume Megaball! It’s a bit like Christmas but with more singing birds. Babou rushes off at the speed of the river to make her costume. She finds a real butterfly fabric, perfect for a costume party, but it doesn’t smell like spring and needs to be washed. Barely started, the washing machine goes on a rodeo and breaks down – with the precious butterfly fabric in its guts. Fortunately, Babou and her Cunning Clan have plenty of ideas. Together they will tinker, discuss, invent, and ultimately save the essential washing machine, and at the same time, the Costume Megaball. Between comic strip and picture book, Coline Sauvand crafts us an eco-friendly and colorful adventure against a backdrop of inventive recycling. We discover a diverse tribe as well as the joys and trials of living together.

Key words: recycling, tribe, friends, animals, party
