The Clever Chrissie and the Mango Stories is a beautiful and meaningful children’s book series that celebrates culture, kindness, imagination, and the power of young voices. The release of the third book, Compassionate Chrissie and the Magic Melons, is a wonderful milestone for Trinidadian children’s literature. Compassionate Chrissie and the Magic Melons is a book families, schools, and communities can proudly share with young readers. A joyful, culturally rooted, and inspiring addition to the Clever Chrissie series. I love her use of culture to underpin the narrative which give identity to millions of young African girls around the world!
