Children’s musical tale at the Bouquetot eco-estate
A field focused on nature education: Since its creation, the Bouquetot domain wants to alert visitors to the threats that weigh on nature today. It wishes, through its actions, to preserve the environment and participate in the emergence of tomorrow’s man and society.
The wonderful story of Gaspard, a 100% Normand musical tale: The author of Gaspard’s wonderful story is also a composer, Nico Decan, the illustrator is a graphic designer, Estelle Mercier, and together they imagined a nice story that they content in music to the children. A little boy has a dream, he goes to the forest… Nine titles, including a lullaby, punctuate the reading of this sensitive, committed and universal tale. In the musical tale, Gaspard crosses a whole bestiary that is far from frightening him! There he meets a wild boar confident in human nature, a fox, who doubts it a little and an owl a little mocked and clumsy to whom we entrust a mission of first importance. Each of the young readers will imagine their own forest and the animals that Estelle drew with coloured pencil and felt pen will come to life. The very cheerful songs, performed by Nico, carry the text with their easy to remember choruses. If at the first reading the story is meant to be light and dreamlike, the children and their parents, in a second time, will carry a reflection and a different look on their environment. It is this awareness that the authors aim for through this publication. Thus, readers are all invited to enter the round of mobilization for the protection of endangered species and natural resources. Finally, The wonderful story of Gaspard is also a universal message of tolerance and solidarity and children will necessarily identify with these heroes of the forest! Gaspard was a very wise little boy but he didn’t like to go to bed, so the musical tale begins.
