The storybook is made available under a Creative Commons license, allowing for commercial use, adaptation, and distribution, provided the copyright and credits are maintained. The narrative follows a seven-year-old girl named Khalai, whose name signifies \"the good one.\" Khalai exhibits a unique and endearing habit of speaking to plants she encounters throughout her day. Her interactions begin upon waking, as she tenderly addresses the orange tree in her home, imploring it to grow large and bear abundant ripe oranges. Her journey to school is similarly punctuated by conversations with the environment; she speaks to the grass, encouraging it to remain verdant and to resist drying out. Upon noticing flowers, she expresses her desire for them to continue blooming so she can adorn her hair with their beauty. Reaching her school, Khalai extends her gentle greetings to the tree there, wishing for its branches to grow broad, providing a welcoming space for reading under its shade. Finally, she addresses the hedge surrounding her school, asking it to grow strong and serve as a protective barrier against ill intentions. The story highlights a child's innocent connection with nature and her simple, positive affirmations directed towards the plant life, showcasing a theme of nurturing and respect for the natural world.","Khalai talks to plants  \nOriginal story written and translated by Ursula Nafula Illustrations by Jesse Pietersen  \nEnglish Story Book  \nKhalai talks to plants  \nOriginal story written and translated by Ursula Nafula Illustrations by Jesse Pietersen  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2015, African Storybook Initiative  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
