Title : Holding Back Winter - Ingrid Desjours - Book

Summary :

You can only give a child two things: roots and wings.
 
November 1990. Idriss and his son Samba are at the beginning of a new life in Roche-Bleue, a village perched on the mountainside. A village far from Burkina Faso, but anchored in Idriss's heart: his mother had so praised the beauty of the snowy slopes and the warmth of its inhabitants that he dreamed of finding a nest there for his son and himself.
But the nine-year-old boy, uprooted and lost in this icy world, becomes stubborn and isolated. Until he meets a whimsical little girl with pink hair and a vivid imagination, who sets him the craziest challenges, makes him love the cold, and helps him open up to the world. A princess for whom he's ready to do anything, even to unite a village and hold back winter.
