At home, we're waiting for a big event. The biggest of my life. So I wait impatiently. In the hospital, in the street, everyone is also waiting for a big event, their faces glued to a TV screen. A man is going to walk on the moon. But in that same little second, you too have arrived. The combination of a birth and a planetary event, using words common to both, is an attractive idea to express the importance and the upheaval of these human adventures. Bibliographical notes

Certain butterflies, like hawk moths, can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h! Others travel thousands of kilometers! Cocoons are even used to make silk!

It neighs and communicates primarily with its ears: when pointed forward, it is focused; when laid back against the neck, beware, it is angry.
