Quieta, the swallow, narrates her life since she broke through the shell to her adulthood: her memories of when she was a chick, life in the nest, her first flight... And above all, she cherishes the memory of the two humans who saved her life on two different occasions: Light Skin, the child from the Warm Lands, and Dark Skin, the boy who lived in the Humid Lands. Quieta?s dream is that these two human chicks meet and become friends. The beauty of the illustrations perfectly complements this exquisite story.
