Fetu is in the middle of a group of kids, in the front. He's wearing a purple shirt that has a yellow star in the middle of it, gray shorts
with orange stripes on the sides, and an orange gadget on his head that covers his ears. He has curly dark brown hair and medium skin tone. His eyes
are closed with a big smile on his face as he holds his boat and stick in his hands. Behind him is a taller girl, medium
brown skin tone, she's wearing a pink sleevless t-shirt and blue-gray shorts. Her brown thick curly hair is in a loose bun, and there's a yellow
flower pin on one side. Her eyes are squeezed tight, he mouth in a wide smile, and a fist in the air. On her right is a shorter boy, fair skin tone,
with light brown spiky hair. He's wearing a gray sleeveless t-shirt and black shorts. His eyes are closed with one hand in the air. In front of him,
are two younger girls. One has a medium skin tone, short red-brown hair with bangs, and she's wearing a blue t-shirt with light blue leggings. Her
hands are in fists, eyes squeezed tight, and she has a wide open smile on her face. The other girl has a dark brown skin tone and long hair in high
pigtail braids, with bright blue rubberbands. She's wearing a yellow shirt with a purple skirt. She's clapping her hands together. On the left of
Fetu is a boy wearing a red tshirt and gray shorts. He has brown hair and a fair-to-medium skin tone. One hand is in the air while the other is on
Fetu's shoulders, and his eyes are squeezed tight with an open smile. He's in a motorized wheelchair. All the kids are barefoot except for Fetu.
Fetu is wearing red sandals, also known as slides. — Author illustration of Fetu and friends celebrating together.
