Content : 1978, the sinking of the Amoco Cadiz.

Yann loves playing store with his father, a fisherman. But one day in March 1978, a terrible wind breaks bad news: the oil tanker Amoco Cadiz broke up near the Brittany coast, spilling oil everywhere. The villagers remember all too well the wreckage of the Torrey Canyon, 11 years before, and despite their mobilization, they cannot stop the black oil from spreading.
Fortunately, everyone is rolling up their sleeves to save the animals, the beaches and their work.
A picture book about oil slicks and, most of all, a great solidarity to overcome the disaster.
