I remember that part :) I saw it illustrated once… as a kid maybe! My Mom was from Trinidad and her sister my auntie used to send us books from Toronto… to us in Saskatchewan…..<br /><br /> Do you know what book would be a good one for the TRINI versions of these stories? Now I am an auntie and want to share these stories with my nieces and nephews. Their Grandpa and my Mom have passed now, so we are the ones to keep on with the culture if it’s going to be shared with these younger ones! Please let me know if you can recommend a book or two. Thanks!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing, maybe one day I’ll come and lime with you! :) Merry Christmas!
