Hello Super Great Kids and how are you?
If you're in the US you are probably enjoying Independence Day celebrations,
visiting family or friends and maybe even having a picnic or a party.
In the UK we're choosing who should lead our country this week.
It's not a holiday so not as much fun but it is an important day.
Now, if you're an Owlette have you tried out Super Great Kids Stories Express?
A new benefit for Apple subscribers and top tier Owlets on Patreon.
It's a version of our podcast which cuts straight to the story without much of an introduction or any shout outs.
So you can listen to stories back to back on long journeys or at bedtime or at picnics with your friends.
The story this week is the last of our birds stories.
It's about a rather special bird called a rain bird which has rainbow coloured wings.
It's from Southern Africa but it's also a popular story among Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest of North America.
There's a moment in this story which is a little bit sad but it does have a happy ending.
The tale is told by Maya Ganatra who told you the hairy toe.
Maya is from Tanzania which is in East Africa.
She's very lucky because her family are from India and she's lived in Africa.
