Fulami, an elf with horns protruding from the top of her head, lives on Venesha, the largest planet in their universe. Fulami’s home planet somewhat resembled Earth. The illustrations showed lush greenery, colorful wildflowers, various creatures, and beautiful mountain ranges. Fulami’s town was much like many others; it had multiple stores, such as the cake shop, florist, bookstore, and grocery store. On one trip to the local grocery store, she saw a piece of paper floating by. It announced that there would be a “Young Creatures Relay Race” happening on Saturday. How exciting!
Fulami was overjoyed that her parents had signed her up for the race. Her excitement bubbled over when all her friends also agreed to participate in the race. Fulami and her friends practiced hard for the event, but the outcome differed from what Fulami expected. She could’ve sulked and vowed never to race again. She could have, BUT she didn’t. Fulami’s story shows readers that practice, patience, a positive attitude, and hard work can help them achieve their goals. Fulami also demonstrated how one should act if a person doesn’t win or perform as well as they hoped. Follow Fulami’s example—congratulate the winners because they worked hard to earn the trophy. Smile knowing that you did your best and should be proud of yourself for giving it your all.
Fulami did not hang up her sneakers and refused to try again. No, she got back out there and practiced even more, this time with her parents. Fulami is a great role model!
I loved the story’s vibrant colors. I also liked the alien animals peeking around plants, between leaves, and over flowers. It was like they were playing hide-and-seek with the reader. I also liked the trail of gold twinkling lights that floated around the characters on every page. I even like the panda-themed trash can!
I recommend sharing this story with kids aged 2-9.
