About UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE by A. L. Dawn French
Christmas in the Caribbean is filled with all the familiar activities from lighting the tree in the town square to preparing culinary delights. But within these traditions is an additional layer: The Caribbean Christmas Characters.
From Papa Djab to Moko Jumbie to Belly Woman to Goedoe Pa and Anansi. This collection uses the characters of the Caribbean to weave a new set of stories for the young and the young at heart to explore and enjoy.
Hidden among the stories is a link to a FREE COLOURING BOOK.
