A young girl forms a special bond with the old Fijian woman who lives next door and who tells her magical stories from her homeland. From tales of healing leaves, a weeping turtle, the Kava God and the Shark Spirit, these stories in picture book format resonate with the young girl and live on through her after the woman dies.
