This story navigates the challenges and triumphs of of being culturally unique in a new place, in a simple and digestable context for young children to understand. Experience the beauty of heritage and the strength it takes to be yourself among new peers. A tale of cultural pride, family bonds, and the struggle of learning to fit in without fading away.
