Sina loves White Sunday, it's special Samoan day to
celebrate kids. And this year is going to be the best one ever, Complete family
, lots of food and adventure."
Filo is going to dance at his aunties' Samoan wedding!
He's been rehearsing the steps for his first siva fa'ataupati for weeks, but
now there are butterflies dancing in his belly. As the day goes on, the
butterflies grow bigger and bolder. Will they stop him from performing the siva
and having a good time?
Sina and Filo are related – they appear to share relatives.
Particularly the aunties who are married in Filo’s story.
Filo’s story is more multicultural, as one of the aunts is
of European-descent.
