Five-year-old Donskerry lives in the village of Galette Chambon with his parents, two sisters, and two brothers. His parents are sharecroppers who work long, hard days in the fields behind the village, striving to harvest enough crops to feed their family. It is difficult for them to leave their two youngest sons, Donskerry and his six-year-old brother Guisnerson, at home while they work.
The family dreams of having both boys in school, where they can learn and be cared for during the day—but they cannot afford the school fees on their limited income. Donskerry is a bright, playful child who loves spending time with his brother and friends in the village. He is eager to begin school and hopes to learn to read, write, and speak French. One day, he dreams of becoming a doctor so he can help others in his community.
