The Ibex

A very greedy goat, a pot of honey in the cellar, and three sisters going down the stairs.

This is how this story of oral tradition begins, which for generations was told by word of mouth and which new generations have almost never heard. A mother sends her three daughters for a pot of honey, but no one expected to find a goat in the cellar. More and more characters arrive to help... but none succeed. Until the smallest of them all appears.

Strength is not always where you think it is.

A cumulative structure that is engaging, that invites anticipation, that makes children want to participate out loud before the next page arrives. A story that connects generations around oral tradition.
