Öko, un thé en hiver,  by Mélanie Rutten

It’s winter in the village and Madeleine, the old cicada, has just died. Everybody gathers to say goodbye to her. Öko, Mitsu, Eliott and other friends discuss around the fireplace about her, and also about this strange person wandering in the forest. The day after, it’s snowing and Öko is coming across the enigmatic stranger. A tender story about meaning of life, growing love, friendship and prejudice with characters of a four-title sequel.
