Luane is a 7-year-old girl who lives in Toronto, Ontario. She is Canadian and Afro Brazilian, and she is very proud of her culture. After a tour of her room, she takes us outside to play soccer with her friend Kyle. Then, it’s off to her dad’s capoeira class to practice her moves. Her favourite part of capoeira is singing, but she also loves playing the berimbau, an African instrument played during capoeira performances. Back home, Luane shows us how to make brigadeiro, one of her favourite Brazilian desserts – yum! Her special surprise comes from a role model who is impressed by her passion and encourages her to keep being herself. When she isn’t playing soccer or practicing capoeira, Luane and her sister Camilla love doing arts and crafts together.
Sunny’s Quest features first-person stories told by Black children from across the country. Each episode showcases a different child and their unique perspective on their day-to-day hobbies, their talents, and heritage.
