This review is from: Anancy Mek It (Paperback)

Being German and having close ties to Jamaica (just like the author), I find this book to be wonderful! It consists of cute Jamaican bedtime stories, partially in patois (patwaa). I would say it's very easy to understand even if you don't know any patois. I'm enjoying this book and if you're Jamaican, German, or Germaican, you'll like it as well!
