-A teenager challenging his folks' na ve beliefs. - Laurore, a bright and bold young Haitian boy, snake hunter, wanders in the dead of night to prove that werewolves don't exist; spends an entire night alone on a rock by a haunted water-pool in a deep ravine to prove that mermaids are creatures of pure fiction; and finally, climbs a venerated palm-tree at night to prove that no evil spirit dwells in its trunk. -The Morning Dew Child, a shorter poem celebrating the simple wonders that children may find in the natural world concludes the book.
