"Once upon a time, in an African village, lived a smart boy named Kofi who adored watching birds, particularly the swift and graceful swallows. Desiring to observe them closely, Kofi ingeniously modified fishing techniques for his purpose. He constructed a tall pole with his father, attaching a light fishing line and a small box at its end to hold flying termites, the swallows' favorite food. His unusual method, dubbed 'sky fishing,' intrigued the villagers. As Kofi hoisted the termite-filled basket into the air, swarms of swallows were attracted, allowing everyone, including Kofi, to marvel at their beauty up close. This activity soon became a cherished village pastime. Kofi's innovative and respectful approach to nature turned 'swallow fishing' into a beloved tradition, highlighting the harmony between humans and nature, and reminding us to appreciate and respect the natural world around us."

Page 1Once upon a time, in a 1975 gray Ford car, lived Z'Rica Chanell. She was a 10-year-old African American girl with dark skin, big brown eyes and two afro puff ponytails tied with cotton candy looking ribbons. Z'Rica lived with her mom, little sister, and baby sister. They didn't have a home, so the car was their house. The back seat was Z'Rica's bedroom, and she kept her few belongings in a suitcase. At night, she'd sleep under a blanket, dreaming of a different life. Illustration: Z'Rica and her family in their car. Z'Rica is in the backseat, surrounded by her few belongings. Page 2Every day, Z'Rica would go to the library after school. She loved to read and learn new things. The library smelled like old books and felt quiet and peaceful. Z'Rica would get lost in the stories, imagining a different life for herself. She'd read about kids with big houses and loving families, wondering what that would be like. Illustration: Z'Rica walking to the library, carrying her backpack and looking down at a book. Page 3One day, while she was walking to the library, she found a old book and a wooden comb on the ground near the library. The comb was special - it had African patterns carved into it. She picked them up, feeling a strange connection to the comb. She decided to take them home, wondering where they came from. Maybe they belonged to someone important. Illustration: Z'Rica finding the book and comb on the ground. She's bending down, picking them up. Page 4That night, while she was reading the book, the wooden comb started talking to her hair! "Z'Rica, you have a special mission," it said in a low, rumbling voice. Z'Rica was surprised, but also excited. Her hair started talking back to the comb! "What mission?" it asked, looking at the comb. Illustration: The comb talking to Z'Rica's hair. Z'Rica is sitting on her car bed, looking shocked but excited.
