Koné is 11 years old and must bring back from the sacred forest a hybrid animal that will help him all his life. But the forest is dangerous, there no longer is harmony between animals and people. How to escape the chamelion and the snakehawk? Koné must draw on the advice of his old grandmother and summon all his courage to be up to the task.
