(New York Times) The war is over and little Ayobami can finally go to school. Everyone is extremely happy, and joy is all over the town.

To keep her from getting lost, Ayobami’s father builds a paper boat and pushes it out into the river, telling her, "If you follow it downstream, you will arrive at the schoolhouse.” But when the ship sinks, Ayobami must find another way to school through the winding paths of the jungle. With only the help of a paper and a spent pencil, Ayobami sets off on an exciting journey with a fundamental objective: to learn to read and write.
