A Likkle Miss Lou: How Jamaican Poet Louise Bennett Coverley Found Her Voice by Nadia Hohn

5.0

This story had gorgeous illustrations and easy to understand dialogue for the little ones. It brings to light the story of a underrated trailblazer who helped bring patois mainstream but doesn't get the credit she deserves. Even though she knows how to speak "proper english" she also speaks in the voice of the everyday person in Jamaica. There's even a short bio at the end giving further insight into why this woman is so important. Can't wait to buy this for my niece.
