on each page.
Then it shows a little girl (or boy) who is very hungry, is actually looking through the book.
Then looking at her surroundings of dying plants, their one last hope for survival.

She is happy, it's one big party.
Happy and full, she falls asleep (wherever she ususally sleeps - floor?) able to sleep soundly instead of tossing and turning with hunger.

Her mother wakes her, excitedly, and her mother and father take her outside to see the people who have just arived. Bringing a giant drill to make a local well, as well as indigenous seeds that grow well in the area, is a group of people (teenager - 20 somethings, mostly). Each of them look suspiciously like one of the people from each ethnic group in her book, that she played with and ate with the night before. One girl turns to her and winks at her, smiling at their secret.
Her people, her parents, are in tears with feelings of gratitude we can not imagine.
They give thanks to Diety (God, whoever they may call him.)
Gruel is passed out, and supplies to make local ethnic food are used.
That night, there is a feast of the ethnic food of the region. Dressed in festive ethnic dress, the little girl takes a plate piled high with her favorite native food.
She turns the last page of the book. It is a girl from another ethnicity, torn by famine. She walks through the pages of the book to share with her her plenty.
