Malaika is happy to be reunited with Mummy, but it means moving to Canada, where everything is different. When Mummy marries Mr. Frédéric, Malaika gets a new sister called Adèle. Her new family is nice, but Malaika misses Grandma. She has to wear a puffy purple coat, learn a new language and get used to calling this new place home. When Mummy and Mr. Frédéric take Malaika and Adèle to a carnival, Malaika is dismayed that it's nothing like Carnival at home in the Caribbean. It takes a chat with Grandma to help Malaika see the good things about her new home and family.
