A beautiful story of a Muslim child's tenacity, and upholding family ties.

 

Fatimah is excited that her grandmother is coming to live with them! She loves hearing all of Ayeyo's colourful tales. But as time passes, Ayeyo's stories become shorter and shorter, until they stop completely. It's as if someone has stolen all of Ayeyo's colours and left her with only one: the deepest and darkest blue.

 

Can Fatimah help Ayeyo chase away her blues and bring back her colours?
