The war is over and little Ayobami can finally go to school. Everyone is very happy and joy has taken over the people. The children are excited to go to school and have a great time, but Ayobami is so impatient that she can't wait for the other children and decides to go to class alone. To make sure it doesn't get lost, Ayobami's father builds a paper boat and throws it into the river below. "If you follow the boat, you'll get to school," he said. However, the ship was wrecked and Ayobami had to find another way and decided to cross the jungle along the winding path that runs through the undergrowth. With the only help of a worn-out paper and pencil, the girl begins an exciting journey with a fundamental goal: to learn to read and write. Will wild animals allow her to arrive safely at her destination?

Spanish Description: La guerra ha terminado y la pequeña Ayobami, al fin, puede ir a la escuela. Todo el mundo está contentísimo y la alegría se ha apoderado del pueblo. Los niños están emocionados por ir a la escuela y pasárselo en grande, pero Ayobami está tan impaciente que no puede esperar a los demás niños y decide ir sola a clase. Para que no se pierda, el padre de Ayobami construye un barquito de papel y lo lanza al río abajo. «Si sigues el barquito llegarás a la escuela», le dijo. Sin embargo, el barco naufragó y Ayobami tuvo que buscar otro camino y decidió cruzar la jungla por el tortuoso sendero que discurre entre la maleza. Con la única ayuda de un papel y un lápiz gastado, la niña inicia una apasionante travesía con un objetivo fundamental: aprender a leer y escribir. ¿Permitirán los animales salvajes que llegue sana y salva a su destino?
