To carnival A Celebration in Saint Lucia WRITTEN BY Baptiste Paul ILLUSTRATED BY Jana Glatt Barefoot Books Step inside a story
Manjé Eat Melba calls Manman Lucy Tomorrow’s a big day The grown-ups make plans for morning Carnival Melba tries to listen but her mind wanders
Soca music thumps and steel pan clanks People dance in feathery costumes Judges crown winners Melba breathes in smells fried bakes and chicken smothered in green seasoning Mmmmm Melba Did you hear Manman Lucy’s voice draws Melba back to the porch Melba nods Hurry to bed or you won’t wake up in time
