Description
Msomaji is a little girl from the South Side of Chicago who wants to see the world. But due to economic constraints, her parents can't make travel a reality right now. So she pretends that her baby blanket is a magic carpet that takes her wherever she wants to go. Along the way, she learns that hard work and faith are the keys to making her dreams come true. Her lesson is that no matter how things look in the moment, the ticket to success is to DREAM BIG!
