Le chemin de Jada

Author: [texte de] Laura Nsafou ; [illustrations de] Barbara Brun
Year: 2019
ISBN: 9782366244656

Abstract: Vivant dans un village de montagne, les jumelles Iris et Jada partagent les mêmes yeux de chat, le même nez rond et les mêmes longues nattes, mais par contre, la première a un teint d'acacia, tandis que la seconde a une peau couleur de cacao. Les villageois complimentent ainsi Iris, mais déplorent que Jada soit si foncée, leur grand-mère grommelant même qu'elle fait penser à un enfant de la Nuit lorsque vient le temps de les border. Ces remarques affectent beaucoup la jeune fille noire, qui songe à quitter sa famille pour retrouver les gens qui lui ressemblent. Sa soeur l'en dissuade, mais un jour où elles s'adonnent à une partie de cache-cache au pied de la montagne jusqu'à la tombée du jour, Jada se dit qu'il serait peut-être le moment de rencontrer un enfant de la Nuit. S'inquiétant pour elle, Iris demande tour à tour au Soleil et à la Lune de lui indiquer où se trouve sa jumelle, mais ceux-ci brillent trop pour distinguer le portrait qu'elle leur présente. Les étoiles joueuses, quant à elles, pourraient bien s'égayer devant la peau de Jada, aussi foncée que le ciel nocturne. [SDM].
