Nous voici au coeur de l'oeuvre du conte de transformation de la personne en elle-même. Quelle meilleure idée que de devenir soi-même, quand tout autour de nous nous pousse à ne pas l'être ?Les histoires continuent à façonner bien des caractères. D'autres voyages s'imposent, pas pour former notre jeunesse, mais notre potentielle éternité.>Nous nous retrouvons dans l'univers des rencontres extraordinaires qui nous permettent de devenir les êtres extraordinaires, uniques que nous devons être. Les valeurs clés de l'être humain sont évoquées, en passant par la famille, l'amitié, le courage, l'humilité, la force d'être soi-même et bien d'autres. Bravo Kayizilanga, ce père de dix enfants, nous conduit au sein de mondes parallèles, mais, pourtant, bien réels. Encore des histoires d'enfants, mais qui s'adressent aussi aux plus grands, dans un seul but: s'accomplir, en rêvant, naturellement !
