Courgette ist ein eher ungewöhnlicher Kosename, aber wenn er einem von der Mutter verliehen wurde und diese dann unerwartet stirbt, hängt man trotzdem daran. Im Heim, in das Courgette gebracht wird, lernt er andere Kinder kennen, denen es ähnlich ergeht wie ihm. Hinter ihrer zuweilen rauen Schale verbirgt sich ein weicher Kern. Es gibt viel zu entdecken und zu lernen: Freunde haben, sich über das Leben unterhalten, Witze reissen – und vielleicht sogar glücklich sein!
