Down in the Blue Mountain Valley, the hills roll like waves on the sea. On the very last hill lives a very small bird with very red feathers. Everyone calls her Ti Wouj, Little Red.

Every morning Ti Wouj sips from the shining river and wonders, "Where does the river come from?" The butterflies, the flowers, and the mango tree all give her the same answer: "Higher up! Look up!" So she climbs, hill after hill, until her little wings ache. Then a warm wind lifts her higher than she could ever climb alone, and at the top she sees where every sip began.

A tender read-aloud for ages 3 to 7, with Kwéyòl words woven through the story and a small glossary at the back. Inspired by Psalm 121:1-2: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help."
