Literature: Zahrah the Windseeker. Zahrah the Windseeker is the debut novel of Nnedi Okorafor, published in 2005. The story is a Science Fantasy set on the fictional planet of Ginen, where people live in, with, and by the plantlife, growing not only their food but their houses and their computers.
When Zahrah passes her menarche it's a cause for celebration in her family. But it also starts Zahrah down a confusing path with a lot of questions she can't ask as this onset of puberty brings with it the ability to float in the air. What little material she and Dari can find says that Zahrah is a windseeker. Dari comes up with the idea that they should go into the jungle so Zahrah can practice. However, Dari is bitten by a venomous snake, and the only cure is an egg from a creature that lives deep in the jungle.
