Notes:
A lyrical and evocative dreamscape of the Caribbean. Lively pictures & spare, poetic text are used to illustrate the actions of four island children & evoke the mood of the Caribbean. Where does sea meet sky? Where does sound meet color? Where does song meet soul? They meet where children run, splash, sing, and live, on an island in the West Indies. Rachel Isadora has written an inventive text, just right for the very young, featuring the activities children love. Winsome watercolors depict the connections that exist in the world around us, and take us to the places that lie deep in the hearts of all children, no matter where they live.
