This picture book about a #ReunionIsland Father #Christmas looking for the perfect outfit all over the world sounded appealing, but I wanted to look at a library copy before buying, in case it was full of atrocious clichés. It is fine and the illustrations are gorgeous. There are clichés, but they don't cross the line (YMMV).
Things are very busy at the moment, and I haven't finished the books I've started, but I'm still going to start a new one, in honour of “fètkaf“, on December 20th, the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Reunion Island (https://ile-de-la-reunion.net/en/events/fet-kaf/). Les Marrons, written by a Reunionese mulatto author, was published in 1844, 4 years before the abolition.
