My brother Erik found out that there were people in Africa that can’t grow food because there is no water. The people are sick and hungry. Erik made a poem for a book (click HERE) and I made a picture for the book. They are selling the book to help the people in (Sahel) Africa.
This is the book. You can click on it to see more about it and how you can help the people too.
This is my painting I made. I tied love and help to a baloon and sent it to Africa. The painting is in the book. I hope you like it!

What a wonderful brilliant idea Josie. I love that your balloon is sending such a beautiful message to the people of Africa and with lovely colours it will surely brighten their day.
Thank you! I was happy that I made a painting and Erik made a story.
I hope the people ge help.
I surely like your comment.

Josie, this is a lovely painting. I love the way you made the tree, and how your balloon and love and hope can help to make the tree green all over and loaded with fruit. Good for you!
