Amina and the Green Band <ie>

Amina is the finest young pearl-diver on the reef, and one deep dive changes everything. What if you found a glowing bracelet that belonged to the King of the sea itself? Should she keep the treasure, or return it to the dark water far below? When a weeping sea-girl and a vast, ancient King rise from the deep, Amina must remember her grandmother’s warning about the sea’s oldest bargain. This story practices the ‘ie’ sound in words like ‘cries’, ’ties’, ‘brief’, ‘grief’, and ‘yields’.
