Lucy's St. Lucian Alphabet. The ABCs of Caribbean culture, in upbeat rhyming verse.

When asked to play with his little sister, Nick frowned. “Mom, I can’t play with Lucy. She’s a baby—doesn’t even know her ABC!”

But Lucy jumped up and placed her hands on her hips, glared at her brother and pursed her lips. “I do!” she said. “Better than you I expect! Why I even know the St. Lucian Alphabet!” … “A is for Accra, fried salt fish cakes. Yummy when hot and often eaten with bakes…”

A feisty little sister teaches her irritatingly superior big brother to view the alphabet in a new way. By the end of the book he’s her biggest fan. “I’ll tell my friends they don’t know their ABCs yet! They must learn your St. Lucian Alphabet!”

A winning combination of lively illustrations, upbeat rhyme and island culture for kids both young and not so young.
