Zocla, Zila, Zepla Cudesch (Va)

In Vallader

Written and illustrated by Alois Carigiet, this is the story of Maurus, a young goatherd who spends the summer with old Stina and her three goats: the white Zottel, the turnip-red Zick, and little Zwerg. Every morning, he accompanies them and many other villagers to the alp, where they graze on the lush pastures. While he takes a short break and watches the clouds, Zottel, Zick, and Zwerg suddenly escape. A desperate search begins, made even more difficult by an approaching thunderstorm.
