A sensitively told and vibrantly illustrated story of Black history from its very ancient origins to its dynamic futureWhen Paloma goes to visit her family in Trinidad, she doesn't feel that she fits in. But Tante Janet has a story to tell her: An ancient story of warrior queens and talking drums, of treasures and tales that span thousands of years . . . a story that Paloma shares in, because her story, too, starts in Africa. Join Tante and her inquisitive niece as they share the story of how her family came to the Caribbean, through the dark days of colonization and enslavement, to the emergence of a thriving, contemporary community of many faces, places and successes. All too often, children's books dealing with "Africa" are reductive with little mention or explanation of modern Africa and too much focus on traditional costume, dancing and animals. This book offers a new approach to caregivers wanting to talk about Black history and Blackness from its very origins, sensitively told and vibrantly illustrated.

Paloma is so excited. She is visiting her family in Trinidad.

She loves feeling the warm Caribbean sun on her face and

drinking fresh coconut water for breakfast and watching

pale geckos scurry along Tante Janet s walls.

She wants to play with her

cousins, but...
