Summary:
The incredible story of West African women who transported grains of rice hidden in their braids to escape enslavement has been passed down through generations as oral history, yet is rarely documented. Told here for the first time. This particular family history is shared by Mae, a young girl who performs the words and stories she's learned from her grandmother, Coco, during a full-moon celebration with her community.

 Illustrator: Williams, Matt
