Carnival Queen

A joyful Carnival book for kids ages 3-7 about the power of community, with vibrant illustrations and special back matter about traditional holiday celebrations all around the world.

Join Kayla, Mommy, and Granny as they get ready for Carnival, the biggest party of the year!

It’ s Carnival day, and Kayla is SO excited! She helps Granny cook, and she waits patiently as Mommy puts colorful beads in her hair. But when Kayla gets dressed in her glittery, colorful costume and starts to dance around the house, she accidentally rips the material. Mommy and Granny try to fix it, but it’ s still not quite right. At the celebration, Kayla asks for help from the other mas bands (celebrants in elaborate costumes). This colorful, inspiring celebration of carnival includes back matter on carnival celebrations in different parts of the world.

A joyful celebration of courage, ancestry, community, and the most vibrant event of the year
