I wasn‘t expecting a #Grenada book for #ReadingtheAmericas2023, with none in my audiobook library, but by chance I got two when grabbing a bunch during Black History Month to Skype with my niece in England. This rich fable was written for a girl in Grenada who asked the author if he knew of any stories about black princesses: the kids who meet the princess here are brave and kind. I also love the fun and colorful creation story Mama God, Papa God.
