The Imagine-a-nation of Lala Child Rivera Sun

One Small Child... One Whole World, Wide-Open With Possibility
Spiritual, epic, poetic, and deeply profound; Lala will capture and transform your heart.
Welcome to 1890 Lovely, Kansas, a drought-stricken all-negro town, where a Chinese man rides a dust storm into ten year old Lala's home and wins her Mamalou's heart, spurring the gossipy shock of everybody else. Lala's lyrical and imaginative child's eye lends fresh perspective to ages old racial issues, washing us all with the sweet wisdom of an old soul in a small body. Full of humor, love and the beauty of life, adults and children alike enjoy this gem of a reading experience. The Imagine-a-nation of Lala Child is a powerful play that is part of the nationally touring Freedom Stories of Lala. It has been rendered in a storytelling form that cries out to be read aloud to yourself, your children or friends. The Imagine-a-nation of Lala Child is not just a heart-warming entertainment, but also a profound teaching story that facilitates radical growth and transformation in us all.
