A young girl is preparing for Carnival, but is also feeling the absence of her mother who is in Canada working. Malaika has a loving grandmother and community that help her come up with a fantastic costume in spite of a lack of money.

Loved this colourful celebration of Caribbean carnival culture that also touches on island diversity, parent/child separation, poverty, and forgiveness. It was really sweet and I highly recommend.

Nice to see a strong story about family separation and living with a parent far away.

Gorgeous illustrations. A sweet story about a little who misses her mom but manages to find a way lift her and her grandmother's spirits during carnival.
