In this sequel to The Adventures of Na Willa (2019), our heroine Na Willa's days are still filled with excitement and simple joys: playing with her friends, reading new books, and singing along to the radio. And now Pak, her father, is back from sea! Pak takes Na Willa to school, goes for ice cream and paints the house.
Na Willa's days are spent happily in her little house in the alley, until, one day, Pak brings some news that will change her life forever...
‘Willa, oh Willa, in her new school she has many friends!
There is Gatot, Sumi, Ekoooo, Asih, Endang, Sriiiii, and Jokoooo!’
Na Willa's days are spent happily in her little house in the alley, until, one day, Pak brings some news that will change her life forever...
On the way home, I tell Pak all about my friends Asih, Eko and Endang. I tell him about Joko who speaks only Javanese, Gatot who never finishes his sentences, Sumi who cries every time she doesn't finish her colouring, and Sri who is always laughing at her. By the time I finish all these stories, Pak can’t stop laughing.
And while he rides, just like Mak, Pak loves to sing and make up his own songs. Mak often sings about the flowers in the garden – the roses and jasmine – but Pak makes up a song all about me and my friends.‘Willa, oh Willa, in her new school she has many friends!
There is Gatot, Sumi, Ekoooo, Asih, Endang, Sriiiii, and Jokoooo!’
Ahhhh, I love Pak’s song.
