Book Emerald blue's

Based on real life memories of the author s childhood in Barbados with her own brother and grandmother Emerald Blue is a story of the sadness of leaving a home you love to find a new one It is also a story of separation as much as it is new beginnings The illustrations are warm and dream like and I particularly like Doyle s use of the endpapers The story itself is well written with rich language too Emerald Blue Anne Marie Linden s rich narrative and Katherine Doyle s lush artwork intermingle in a book that evokes the sights and sounds the tastes and smells of an idyllic childhood on a Caribbean island Full color Emerald Blue.
