The sights, sounds and tastes of vibrant Saint Lucia come to life in this cumulative #OwnVoices tale of a girl's journey to Carnival. When a series of unexpected delays disrupts her journey to the big parade, Melba must adjust both her expectations and her route to the festivities. Who will she meet and what will she learn along the way?

About the Authors

Baptiste Paul grew up in Saint Lucia, where at age seven he propagated a root cutting that still produces breadfruit for his family. He holds an Environmental Science degree and is the author of The Field, which received multiple starred reviews. He is also the co-author of I Am Farmer, with Miranda Paul.

Jana Glatt's fascination with creating character, costumers and scenarios began in her childhood theatre classes. Today, she feels like a director of a great scene when she is creating her illustrations. Jana has illustrated more than twenty books and has been seen all over the world. She lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Industry Reviews

? ''A must-have picture book that educates while it thoroughly entertains'' - Kirkus Reviews
"Young readers are transported to the Caribbean in this introduction to its culture and wildlife . . . Paul and Glatt's characters sparkle on the page as they add to their group of friends and realize that they, too, can shine in their own parade" - Booklist
"Imagine a celebration that lasts for 2 1/2 months. You don't have to if you have this book" - Betsy Bird, Librarian, @FuseEight
"The vibrant rainbow of Carnival is reflected in illustrations that marry digital art with childlike drawings, and a section at the back educates children on the culture of Saint Lucia and the history of Carnival" - Foreword Reviews
