Image Description: Series of photos in which sisters Aiyana and Narieka are side by side, dressed in either matching rainbow dresses and white linen shawls, or in purple and blue capes and dresses, performing stories. In all of the photos, the sisters have expressive faces and hand gestures, and in several of the photos, one of them is playing the violin or drum. They are outside on a sunny day, under a tent or in front of trees. Sometimes the backs of the heads of audience members are visible, many of the audience members are children.
