Emilie Buchwald 
Floramel and Esteban 

Floramel is a lonely and bored cow who longs to make music like the calypso songs the village boy, Rafie, sings to her. With the arrival of Esteban, a cattle egret, she finds companionship and the ability to make her own calypso music via conch shells Esteban brings her, much to the delight of Rafie and the villagers.
