أسطورة الشمال البعيد

In Morocco, where golden lagoons meet the edge of the desert and ancient migration routes cross the sky, a small arctic tern dares to ask: is life truly better somewhere else?

Stitou has heard the stories every winter. Uncle Bellarej, the colony’s beloved stork and storyteller, paints the distant North as a land of wonders where life flows without struggle. And each winter, a question stirs inside him: what if it were true?

One spring, he sets off to find out.

Along the way, Stitou travels from the dunes of Khnefiss to the frozen North, and finds that what he discovers is not what he expected.

This is a story for children, and for the parents who read it with them. It is about the longing to leave, the pull of home, and learning to look at what you already have with fresh eyes.

• A fable inspired by the real migration of the arctic tern
• Journey from Morocco to the far North

For children aged 5 and up.
