Ugandan-American first-time author Isdahl weaves Ugandan culture into the tale by incorporating Luganda, the language of Uganda, into Papa's good-night song, through characters' names, and through the flora and fauna Siba and Saba encounter. Soon, the dreams come true in a way that portends a bright future for them both. But one night, when Papa sings 'Sula bulungi, Siba and Saba,' as he always does, they dream not of lost things but of delightful new found things. When they sleep, they dream of finding all they've lost.
