Official synopsis Publisher
‘Too special for just once-a-week reading, Eloise Greenfield’s 20 exuberant poems are matched by the bright colors of Mr. Amos Ferguson’s life-filled paintings. His native Caribbean glows as vividly in the words as in the full-page primitive pictures. . . . A perfect collaboration between two master imagemakers.” ‘SLJ.
