Hi Carole, this is amazing. Thanks for sharing. It was a great post to see as a new Bluesky member. I wanted to ask if you feature Caribbean children's books. I have an extensive list, and many books are in NYC libraries.

#Caribbeanculture in my books are real lived experiences for many of us born and raised in #Caribbean nations. This story isn't watered down; it's the social reality for most of us in the Caribbean/African diaspora.

Let's celebrate our differences and similarities.
