Lolie's childhood in a village north of Kinshasa is filled with laughter and curiosity. She loves to 'kende, kende, kende', or 'go, go, go'! But when fighting nears the village, Papá must load Lolie into a wheelbarrow and flee as fast as her pregnant Mamá can walk. Lolie distracts herself on the journey by observing how bicycles and trucks move and by helping baby Nico be born. In their years in a refugee camp, Lolie's responsibilities grow as does baby Nico's ability to restore the family's laughter.
