Rosy's mother remembers the pleasures of her childhood in Jamaica and the very special dolls she used to play with.
Publisher's Notes
While Mother tucks her in for a nap, she tells Rose about growing up in Jamaica. Too poor to have a store-bought chalk doll, Mother describes the wonderful times she had making her own fun. The cozy dialogue between mother and daughter and the exuberant paintings create a lyrical portrait of the unique joys of a Jamaican childhood. Full color.
