What is Goodnight my sweet island about?
As evening falls over a magical Caribbean island, a child says goodnight to the world around them. Birds, animals and fish settle down among the forests, rivers and rain, while drums, dancing, tropical fruits and delicious foods bring memories of the day. With each gentle verse, the island’s sights, sounds and rhythms are celebrated before the sun disappears and night arrives. This lyrical picture book offers a warm, dreamy journey through the beauty and wonder of island life.
