If your kids love Greek mythology, then this is their next reading!

(An illustrated storybook for young readers who are fluent in French)

Two friends, a pair of crows and an adventure beyond their known world. This fun retelling of an ancient Greek play takes you to the Land of the Birds, where democratic procedures are kept and all birds are equal. Who is King Hoopoe? Why did he call for a bird assembly? Hope and Trusty are trespassers and must face the consequences! The birds are angry and unforgiving... Can the two friends win over the assembly? How do the Olympian Gods get involved in all this?

A story about friendship, brotherhood and achieving impossible goals. Inspired by the play Ornithes (The Birds,

414 BC) by Aristophanes.

Deux amis sauvent deux corbeaux et sont entra�n�s dans le Monde des Oiseaux. Rejoins-les dans leur aventure o� ils rencontreront le Roi Oiseau et ses sujets, et aide les oiseaux � se rassembler pour accomplir l'impossible: une cit� d 'oiseaux dans les nuages appel�e Ornithopolis. La Cit� sur les Nu�es est le premier livre de la s�rie des Aventures d'Esp�rance et Fid�le.

Inspir� par la pi�ce de la Gr�ce antique Ornithes (Les Oiseaux, 414 avant J.C.) par Aristophane.

Maria Kamoulakou-Marangoudakis is a Greek archaeologist and an award-winning children's author. Ever since childhood, Maria has LOVED escaping in the imaginary world of books. A longing to visualize and re-live the past, originally led her to a career in archaeology. A similar urge in 2013, prompted Maria to test her abilities in writing, and to found LITTLE CENTAUR PRESS in 2018. Her books bridge the gap between picture books and juvenile chapter books. For her themes, she searches through Greece's rich literary tradition and folklore. When not busy writing, Maria ENJOYS interacting with her readers at book signing events and literary festivals. She is a wildlife lover and ADORES traveling, meeting new people and learning about new cultures. She lives in New England with her husband, Carl, and her elderly cat, Kit-Kit.
