🌿 Melody and the Talking Calabash

A heartwarming Kenyan tale of honesty, curiosity, and a little bit of magic.

When little Melody is sent on an errand to her grandmother, she receives one simple instruction: "Don't open the calabash."
But curiosity stirs under the mango tree... and a whispering voice tempts her to take just one little peek.

What happens next teaches Melody a powerful lesson - and reveals the kind of magic that only honesty can unlock.

🧺 Set in a peaceful Kenyan village with cultural charm and a wise old talking calabash, this delightful story will leave young readers smiling and grown-ups touched. Perfect for bedtime, read-alouds, or classroom character lessons.

✨ From the author of "Our Bedtime Magic" comes another unforgettable African folktale with a modern twist.All Rights Reserved

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 ' 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 & 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
