I had mixed feelings about this story. First, I really liked the language of the story. The story is told in a reggae beat and has a nice bounce to it when you read it, it also fits the language of the main character herself. Some Jamaicans talk in this manner and it sounds very cool when you hear it, and bringing that into a story made this fiction book very realistic. I also liked the illustrations in the story, they matched and flowed with the language and the writing; and the author created the illustrations in glowing colors to express the Caribbean life and express the joyful spirit of the girl. Though there were some good characteristics, I didn’t like how it was split up into three very short stories. It would have made more sense just to combine the stories because it seemed like the author was just describing how the young girl navigated through the island, and the events seemed to be in chronological order. Overall, I believe it was a good cultural book with the message of enjoying life and the little things in it. Having positive vibes and being joyful so that other around can see and be joyful to. Just being happy with the world around you and savoring moments in life.
