Yaya is a fi ve year old who likes playing with her friends and her younger
sister. From very early on, Yaya developed a keen interest in drawing
and reading. She also likes ballet, math, and violin. She enjoys growing and eating
vegetables from the garden. Yaya was born with a natural sense of humor and most
vibrant spirit. One evening, at bed time, she started to recite from her new book
the Cra bb (Crybaby) Family. Since she started mastering speech, Yaya has
found pleasure in making up her own words and even language. She would deliver a
full speech in an unknown language, making her sound almost mystical. Cra bb
is a made-up word for crybaby. This book is not about crying and wining, but about
discovering early on in ones life the many things to be happy for and the many
blessings we all have.

She also likes ballet, math, and violin. She enjoys growing and eating vegetables from the garden. Sylvana was born with a natural sense of humor and vibrant spirit. One evening, at bed time, Sylvana started to recite from her “new book” the “Cra’bébé (Crybaby) Family”.
