An Island Christmas Author:Lynn Joseph, Catherine Stock (Illustrator) Rosie's preparations for Christmas on the island of Trinidad include picking red petals for the sorrel drink, and singing along with the parang band. "Stock portrays the joyful activity in freely painted watercolors that beautifully evoke the island setting and vibrant, warmhearted characters. A welcome contribution." -- Kirkus Reviews
Born and raised on the island of Trinidd, the author delightfully describes a West Indian Christmas based on her mother's and her own memories. The full page water color illustrations add greatly to the story
