“THE RHYTHMS, SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE CARIBBEAN ARE BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED. A REAL JOY!”
The rich culture of a Caribbean island becomes a child’s bedtime story.
VALERIE BLOOM, JAMAICAN-BORN POET AND NOVELIST
Saying good night “to all things we love” – a homage to a magical Caribbean island. The gorgeous illustrations take the reader through a poetic and visually stimulating journey. Each verse celebrates aspects of tropical island life: birds and beaches, fruits and forests, dancing and music, rivers and rain. As the sun goes down, a child says a dreamy good night to all the rich experiences of the day.
This magical place Where ocean meets sea Is an island so precious It’s here inside me.
