Description
Malaika's mother can't buy her a carnival costume. Instead, she'll have to wait for Mummy's letter with news from Canada. But when it arrives, there's no money for the costume Malaika was counting on. Luckily, Ms. Chin, the tailor, has some spare fabric that might just do the trick. With her grandmother's help, Malaika creates a patchwork rainbow peacock costume and dances proudly in the parade. This heartwarming story celebrates family, community, and the joy of carnival. The book is written in a blend of standard English and Caribbean patois, making it a unique and special picture book. The vibrant collage-style illustrations bring the story to life, while the author's warm prose makes this a strikingly original read.
