The Story of Nundi

By Donnetta Booker

A little girl begins her day with a simple desire; to spend the morning playing by the stream that separates her village from the forest. Instead, she discovers that a small act of kindness can change someone's life in a big way. Everyone has a story, and each story is different. This book demonstrates how people can be shaped by their experiences, whether good or bad. The narrative, along with the discussion questions at the end, will show young readers that things aren't always as they seem; and encourage them to look deeper than the surface to better understand those who are different from them.

A long time ago, in a land far away, there lived a little girl named Nundi who was the prettiest little girl in all the land. She was so beautiful that the birds in the trees would sing special songs for her whenever she passed by.

During the day, butterflies followed her everywhere she went. They encircled her head to form a colorful winged crown whenever she stopped. At night, fireflies did likewise; forming a crown that sparkled with their brightly lit yellow-orange tails. Not only was Nundi beautiful on the outside, she was just as beautiful on the inside. She was also content, and had a heart full of love. Nundi loved everybody, and everything; and everybody and everything loved her.

One day Nundi
