Grace is a playful girl from rural Kenya who loves coming up with ideas to make her eight siblings laugh. She dreams of becoming a comedian, but also a farmer like her mom and dad. In the evenings by the fire, Grace watches her dad, a master of jokes, to learn how to be even funnier. But when a terrible drought hits the village, Grace learns that many dads have to leave their families to find jobs in the city. Her biggest worry is that her dad might have to leave too. Grace and her family find hope through their shared humor and they work together to plant hundreds of tree seedlings. The seedlings will one day grow into big trees that can protect their fields from the drought and give them fruit to sell. Will their efforts be enough to keep Grace’s family together?
