Ackees, a Spider, and ... uh ... Breda Anansi?
The dialogues in the story offer insights into the banana spider and ackee, the national fruit that, along with saltfish, makes up the national dish.
Breda Anansi, a folktale character from African culture brought to the island in the 1600s, features in a new story. He and other anthropoid animals mainly communicate in the Patois/Patwa dialect.
A glossary covers the dialects for those interested in learning the casual language on the island.
The illustrations are by the author, as well as artworks by Sanai Hardison (9 years old) and Skylah Simms (4 years old).
