C is for Carnival
Yolanda T. Marshall, illustrated by Daria Lavrova
D is for dance! E is for emancipation! From A to Z, this is a rhyming alphabet book that celebrates Canada's Caribbean Carnival. This engaging and educational book features a diverse cast of children in vibrant costumes as they 'play mas' while dancing to Soca and Calypso music.
A glossary at the end makes it easy for readers, including parents and teachers, to review what they have learned. (From Chalkboard Publishing)
