Customers Say

"Excellent children’s book which teaches little kids the rich tropical heritage of Jamaica. My godson has been completely mesmerised since he got this book. He wants it read to him every night and won’t travel without it! It’s so important to expose kids to their culture early!"
"This is a charming story of exploration. The little ones are inquiring about the things they see along their journey with their grandma. It’s entertaining and easy for the children to follow. Great characters and picture two copies, my nephews and they loved it!"
This book is captivating not just the pictures but the concept. Taking you easily through an educational cultural journey. A nice touch the mini quiz and the pronunciation guide.
