“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.

Part of the Coconut Classic Chronicle series — where classic tales get a tropical twist! 🌴🎁”
