Photo of a happy child with black skin and curly black hair, laying in the grass with eyes closed. Blades of grass intermingle with her hair. Her mouth is open wide in laughter, showing her teeth and tongue. One shoulder is visible in the lower left corner of the photo. She’s wearing clothing with an orange shoulder strap and front. The sun shines on her face, illuminating the photo. She looks so happy.

She slithered through the grass like a snake, then hopped up and snuck around the flowerpot to peek around.

Playful & mischievous, yet without discretion, she giggled for reasons only she knew.

“What you doing creeping around, honey?” Nana asked, smiling.

She squealed with laughter and ran into Nana’s open arms.
