All the children are free, Teachers are gone, In all corners of the country, school is out! All the pilgrims are ready; it's the frivolous party season! The feast has begun, everywhere it's part tiMe! Many have arrived at Lakou Migonga. Chickens, turkeys and ducks Are carousing in the yard. Fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sisters are gathered, Neighbors and friends, we all make one family. These are all customs in the country of Haiti.

All except for one, The child with the starry crayon. As the sun sets, she slowly ... Yawns ... stretches ... and gets out of bed. She floats up to sit on the moon ... To draw on the fresh piece of black paper. She doodles all night. SoMe earth people watch her, As she draws the constellations.  less
