Things come to a head when Mummy and Mr. Fr d ric take Malaika and Ad le to a carnival. Malaika is dismayed that there are no colorful costumes and that it's nothing like Carnival at home in the Caribbean  She is so angry that she kicks over Ad le's snow castle, but that doesn't make her feel any better. It takes a video chat with Grandma to help Malaika see the good things about her new home and family.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNadia L.
