Caribbean Twelve Days of Christmas

( Oct. 10, 2017)
Caribbean Twelve Days of Christmas is a unique picture book for small children who are learning to count. It is an island portrayal based upon the age old classic Christmas story. Caribbean people, flowers, and wildlife highlight the twelve days with original watercolors, drawings, and collages that illustrate the many forms of art taught in the island schools. Collage is a typical Caribbean art form and it is shown through a fancy iguana, dancing ladies, the old wife trigger fish and jumping mongoose. Mocko jumbies, yellow warblers, bananaquits, four eyed butterfly fish, hummingbirds, hibiscus and flamingos are examples of island watercolors. The endangered hawksbill turtle completes the twelve days with a simple pencil drawing. Since the Caribbean also hosts many Spanish speaking islands, the original lyrics are subtitled in Spanish.
