Hi Abe! (Your name isn't really Abe, I'm giving you a pseudonym. Ask Mrs. D what a pseudonym is!)
Thanks for your letter with all the nice compliments and good questions!
When I need to have clothes made, I go to a seamstress and I show her a picture of what I want my dress to look like. She measures me, and then she makes it for me. It's really nice to have clothes that fit perfectly! Here's a picture of me at the seamstress' shop:
I don't know if it has a name, but one song that they sing here is a lullaby I call Yoo Yoo Yoo. Click here
to see a video of a woman singing it. I like to sing it to crying
babies because the babies stop crying and all the adults around start
laughing because it's funny to hear me sing it. And, when I forget the
words, I can just sing yoo yoo over and over again until someone jumps
in and helps me remember them!
Thanks for praying and for writing!
Love,
Miss Nora
This is a great idea, posting answers to children’s letters!
I like your simple, straight forward writing.

Here are some more Beninese/Togolese songs, on video/audio and with photos. I hope “Abe” likes them!
