About this book
Little Rosy has plenty to ask about during her family's stay at Cannes. An early walk with her nurse takes her to a dairy, where the rich milk prompts questions about the cream on top. Soon she is out with her father, looking for birds among the bushes and discovering why their songs are so scarce. Thomas Miller follows these small outings through a child's quick observations, affectionate conversations and concern for a robin.
The seaside town gives Rosy more to think about: ships at the port, unfamiliar clothes and dolls she wants dressed to show her grandmother what she has seen. A promised visit to the cows turns another ordinary morning into an event. This short children's story brings together family travel, simple lessons in kindness and glimpses of French daily life, showing how a young visitor learns through looking and asking.
