'Twas de Night 'fore Christmas

By Carla Henry-Lewis

Christmas in the Caribbean is like no other-and this book brings that joy to life

In 'Twas De Night 'fore Christmas: A Caribbean Tale, Santa Claus arrives island-style-peppered gray dreadlocks flowing, wearing a red, white, and black madras suit, and carrying a handmade basket filled with tropical treats. As steel pans ring and moko jumbies dance under the moonlight, the familiar Christmas Eve tale unfolds with a rich Virgin Islands twist.

Children will giggle, dance, and dream as they follow along with the rhythmic verse and colorful illustrations celebrating island traditions-from guavaberry rum and sweet tarts to the joy of Three Kings Day.

This heartwarming story invites readers to experience the sights, sounds, and spirit of a true Caribbean Christmas.

Perfect for classrooms, families, and anyone who loves a touch of sunshine in their holiday stories.
