Zazoo is Vietnamese by birth but feels entirely French. She has lived with her adoptive Grand-Pierre in France in an old stone mill between the river and the canal since she was two, sharing poetry, adventures, and the predictable rhythms of the seasons. Then one misty October morning, a young man on a bicycle rides into Zazoo’s small village and asks a question from which many stories begin to unfold. A love story within a love story.

Richard Mosher was born on April 24, 1949, in India. He was raised in New York, United States.
When Richard Mosher was fifteen, he spent the year attending a French boarding school and hitchhiking around Europe during vacations. He is a graduate of Antioch College.
Richard Mosher had a lot of jobs before becoming a writer. He worked as a tree surgeon in Maine, an automobile worker in Michigan, a school teacher in West Virginia, and a house builder in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He drove a cab in New York City for five years and worked as a brakeman on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. He relishes these experiences, he claims, because they give him time to write - not because he’s seeking raw material for his books - but in time, he says, the experiences do seep into his writing. His first novel for young people does, in fact, include as a major character a New York City cab driver.
The Taxi Navigator (1996), aimed at middle-grade to junior high readers, tells the story of nine-year-old Kyle, who begins spending time with his cab-driving Uncle Hank when Kyle’s parents become immersed in career and marital problems. In an interview published online by the Putnam Berkley Group, Mosher explained that the extent to which he drew on his own job experiences in The Taxi Navigator was minor. Though Hank is a fictional creation, he does share one characteristic with Mosher: he drifts from place to place and job to job. This, Mosher noted, is a strength, for it enables the character to remain open to many different types of people.
Nowadays, Mosher continues writing books. His first book is Zazoo (2001) about a Vietnamese girl. This is a story of memory and contemplation, not action, with most of the elements unfolding slowly over the course of a year through dialogue and reminiscence.
