Short description
The story of Apsoula the little blackbird
Description
Will Apsoula finally be able to leave her grandmother and listen to her heart? A tender story with colorful pictures that follow the text and bring to life the adventures of Apsoula, the clever blackbird. How does tenderness develop between humans and animals?
The story I am about to tell you is real. I experienced it in the spring of 1995 and it lasted about 7 months. This relationship opened the horizons of my heart and mind. Most people believe that in a difficult moment of our life, we can only get help from our fellow human beings. This is true, but there are many cases where we can get help from animals and birds as in my case. Apsoula helped me a lot to ease my personal problems, from the day she came uninvited to my yard. My own intention was to offer help to a helpless little bird, to live and grow stronger. I believed that this way she could very soon continue her life in her natural environment free. In my effort this Apsoula offered me her tenderness, her games, her angers and jealousies.
