Where does sea meet sky?
Where does sound meet color?
Where does song meet soul?
Here is a place where children run, splash, and sing, on an island in the West Indies, in a world that is nothing short of magical. Rachel Isadora's glowing watercolors and lyrical, evocative text celebrate the things that make the Caribbean a very special home.
"The poetic text encourages the reader to visualize the meeting of the waves and the sand, wind and hill, song and soul, and to imagine the activities that follow." (
The Horn Book)
"Isadora's pictures move and sway like a Caribbean breeze." (
Booklist)
