La Franc | The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun

Due to a debt, Marigo’s landlady confiscates his beloved musical instrument, the kongoma. His only hope lies in a lottery ticket he bought, which he places on his door behind a poster of his childhood hero. As he waits for news of his potential winnings, he daydreams about the abundance and happiness that could lie ahead.

Sili, a 12-year-old street urchin who begs on crutches to support herself and her blind grandmother, decides to sell newspapers—a job traditionally reserved for boys in Dakar. She soon confronts a harsh reality, but her courage and newfound friendships guide her on her brave journey.
