There are several more treats in store for the girls, including a special surprise upon their return to Ebby's home.Before settling down for the night, Aunt Rita tells the girls Ebby's favorite story "Kissed by the Sun," which is a tale of how Ebby got her rich brown skin and black curly hair. After the story, a conversation ensues in which the girls are made aware of how special they all are.Ultimately, at The Birthday Sleepover, the girls are bonded by a deeper appreciation for what makes them and each other unique.
