“With Grace explores a Caribbean space richly woven with magic, mystery and fantasy—an engaging fable, not only for young readers but any reader poised for a new reading experience that twists and turns on a suggestion of allegory.” – Alscess Lewis-Brown, Editor, The Caribbean Writer.

Grace, of Grace’s Peak, loves her hill, and her home above the village, above the whole island.

All her trees are lush and full of ripe fruits, except for the one at the far end of her orchard. She hates that tree. So when the smiling, barefoot, girl from the village asks Grace if she can pick fruits to sell at the market, it is from that sad, bare tree that Grace “generously” allows her to pick.

Little does Grace know that the young girl’s kind, generous heart and her sweet special song will make the impossible happen, and change life at Grace’s Peak forever.

What does it mean to be a Virgin Islander? Author Tiphanie Yanique explores this question in her beautiful, celebratory poem, I am the Virgin Islands. The colorful and content-rich collages by Moses Djeli complement the text, creating a kaleidoscope of Virgin Islands landmarks, faces and smiles. The book contains a glossary and a guide for children, teachers and parents on how to create their own I am projects.
