In the hills above Port-au-Prince, a young girl named Fallon wants more than anything to carry a large woven basket to the market, just like her Manman. As she watches her mother wrap her hair in a mouchwa, Fallon tries to twist her own braids into a scarf and balance the empty panye atop her head, but it’s much harder than she thought. BOOM! Is she ready after all? Lyrical and inspiring, My Day with the Panye is a story of family legacy, cultural tradition, and hope for the future.
