The Storm

In the middle of the American desert, on a small farm in the Wild West, a family suffers a spectacular storm. From a child’s point of view, we discover the thunder, the rain dripping through the roof, the wind overturning the wagon, the hailstones breaking a window… The tense family pulls together to face this ordeal until the storm subsides, leaving a muddy desert. A new playground to relax in after all that excitement.

Inspired by Miyazaki, who believes that a typhoon can become a thrilling adventure for children, this silent comic strip plunges us into a world of strong, multiple sensations.
After an excellent first picture book published at Le Diplodocus – Montre-toi Montagne ! (Show yourself, mountain!) – David Wautier once again proclaims his love of nature in a simple, intense story carried by his magnificent watercolours.
