A lyrical, beautifully illustrated tale that celebrates heritage, courage, nature, and the quiet magic every child carries within. Born beneath a velvet sky and blessed by moonlight, Princess Emola is a Child of Water and Sky—guided by the rivers, the stars, and the ancestral wisdom of the River People and Sky Keepers. With the Owl as her companion of night and the Antelope as her guardian of day, Emola grows into a gentle but powerful leader who listens deeply, walks with purpose, and honors the world around her.
