Books with title Trinidad

The country of Trinidad and Tobago consists of two large islands and several smaller landmasses in the Caribbean Sea, off the northeast coast of South America. Once a British colony, today Trinidad and Tobago is among the most prosperous and developed of the Caribbean nations. Many international companies have established factories or facilities on the island, and it is a leading producer of oil and natural gas. The two main islands that give the country its name are very different. Trinidad, the larger island, is densely populated. It is home to steel mills, oil fields, factories, livestock farms, and sugarcane estates, and has become a regional financial center. The mountainous island of Tobago, on the other hand, is far less developed. Located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northeast of Trinidad, Tobago's economy depends heavily on tourism. There's a lot to discover about Trinidad and Tobago!

“I will never be good enough. Everyone is better than me and I will never measure up.” Sometimes when we see people on television, we think we need to be like them with fancy houses, beautiful hair, or glamorous lives. But this is not true. The most important people are in our very neighborhoods. The teachers, farmers, coaches, parents, and friends around us are the most important people in the world. Trinidad realizes that the people living nearby are the valuable people in one’s life. The book Trinidad takes readers through the appreciation of the people most important in our lives. This book is a celebration of childhood, family, friends, art, and language. Trinidad is written in English and Spanish and features a non-gender specific character. It features original paintings by Denver artist Colleen Hennessy.
