Yaambo loves to climb into Baba\u2019s mind of\u00a0never ending creative treasures. As Baba\u00a0always enjoys an impromptu challenge.\u00a0But, will Yaambo have the patience to endure\u00a0Baba\u2019s spoken words of rhyme and reason as\u00a0this story unfolds?\u00a0Indeed there maybe a scientific explanation\u00a0for why the sky is blue. We leave it up to you to determine the likelihood of our story, for the\u00a0sky may or may not be Blue at all.\u00a0Yaambo and I hope you enjoy our story in the\u00a0spirit in which it is offered.\u00a0Peace.<\/p>\n
