This is a truly unique and wonderful book for children (and adults). Besides the amazing paintings and accurate depiction of the beauty of St. Lucia, the book deals so gracefully with some pretty heavy topics: ecological dilemmas, religion, and the bonds of grandparents. We have what seems like thousands of children's literature in our house; I have two kids, 9 and 5. I am an elementary school teacher of thirteen years, and this really is my favorite kids book. A no-brainer for concientious parents.
