Description
In the hills above Port-au-Prince, a young girl named Fallon dreams of doing one proud, everyday task just like her Manman: carrying a woven panye to market. Through playful attempts—learning how to balance, move, and prepare with care—Fallon discovers that tradition is both beautiful and challenging, shaped by family, skill, and patience. Lyrical and uplifting, this vibrant picture book celebrates Haitian culture, the dignity of work, and the quiet confidence that grows when you keep trying. With rich, expressive illustrations and an author’s note that deepens readers’ understanding of the practice, it’s a hopeful story about legacy, belonging, and the joy of mastering something meaningful.
