Présentation de l'éditeur

Zizwe is visiting his family in Barbados with his mother for the very first time and his exciting journey as he leaves "rainy England for blue skies and sea" and his first impressions of the beautiful land of the shak shak tree are captured in this evocative story poem by Jade Small. Children of all ages will enjoy reading about Zizwe's adventures as he eats corn pone and coconut bread at his aunty's house and catches a bus to St James before visiting a grove of pod-laden shak shak trees.
