Another Melissa Wakhu classic is up on the podcast! From the writer behind one of our most popular episodes, Pipo and the Poop Pile, comes this sweet story inspired by her love and passion for nurturing a new generation of children who are secure in their unique identities. Fun fact about this wonderful story, she not only wrote it but illustrated it too. We love it and can’t wait for you and your little ones to hear it.

✨About the story ✨

Come along with Tia, a tiny black seed, as she explores the wondrous world around her. Tia dreams of being tall, big and beautiful. But her adventures lead her to an even greater discovery about her true purpose!
