Yuwanda

Yuwanda had the kind of looks
You read about in fairy books!
She was as sweet as she was fair,
So she was welcome, everywhere.
And therefore, everywhere she went —
Never stopped to ask her Ma’s consent!

Yuwanda's story is perfect for the little ones that love to wander

The next Goop is so excited to meet everyone, so give a warm welcome to Yuwanda! She’s a queenly Goop who loves to help those around her. Her only problem is that she always wanders off if something catches her eye. 

One summer evening, Yuwanda and her friend Zeemsneaze head into the fairy woods to watch the fairies secretly release floating lanterns. When Yuwanda tries to follow a fairy, she ends up floating high into the sky while hanging from a lantern! When she finally lands back on the ground, she realizes she’s in Timbuktu in the Sahara Desert, and her toy horse has turned into a full-sized camel! They soon meet a spunky aardvark named Alec, who warns them that a flood is coming, and as soon as Yuwanda starts to wander off, the flood arrives.

She takes refuge on top of a mud mosque, and if she wants to save the nearby village from the flood, she’ll have to stay where she is and avoid wandering off again. That’s difficult enough for Yuwanda, but she also has to figure out how to stop the flood for good!  

Yuwanda’s journey through Timbuktu will teach kids why it’s important to practice stillness and patience and to always be aware of where they are. Yuwanda will have to be still if she wants to avoid disaster. Will she be able to stop wandering and take time to think of a plan? Join her in the Sahara Desert to find out!

While basking in the desert heat, kids will avoid becoming screen zombies, cultivate new play routines, and open their minds to new ideas and cultures. Goop World will be their new favorite play spot after meeting Yuwanda!
