This tender story by Doris Mühringer exhibits a language whose poetry transcends all age groups. The illustrations by Michaela Weiss add a masterful, congenial touch to this unique fly story.
One evening, Emilie appears. She settles down on my thumb and begins to clean herself.
Head, front legs, wings, back legs—head, front legs…It takes her quite some time.
She is small, no bigger than a grain of rice, dainty, and delicate.
I move my thumb because I want to find out if she is going to fly away.
Emilie stays where she is, so she has to be new. No one has taught her yet that one should be afraid of humans.
