Dreams of Sugira

Sugira is a 7-year-old girl who lives with her mother, Kamaliza. She does not like to brush her teeth. One day, she goes to school. Her classmates start to get bored and bully her for smelling. She fainted of this. Her two friends from the same neighborhood also start to run from her.
Kamaliza, her mother, keeps reminding her to brush her teeth after eating, but she does not like it. One night, she sleeps. In her dreams, she finds herself in the oral cavity kingdom of microbes nicknamed “Imitananana.” There are good microbes that protect the teeth and serve oral hygiene protection in general. The good microbes have the leader, King AAA.
Sugira receives a warm welcome in her own oral cavity. Good Imitananas prepare a night party for her in African Rwandan dance celebrations. This world of “Imitanana” is a world like any other. We have beauty pageant competitions, community work, concerts, and much more fun and familiar play with kids.
Sugira learns about protecting and preserving oral hygiene via battles fought against bad imitanana microbes led by the villain called Zezeze.
