Description
Do paintings talk back to you? Auntie Luce is from Haiti and her paintings always talk vibrantly about Haiti today and of days gone by. Her niece comes to visit the island and through art, she learns the history and heroes of a country ravaged by revolution, but brightened by everyday people who balance fruit baskets on their heads, sell water ice by the pink cathedral or ride on painted tap-tap buses. Auntie Luce explains that she paints what she has seen, heard, smelled and felt. In this lushly illustrated book, you too will see and feel the colors of Haiti and the Haitians: “colors that bleed from ash to cocoa to rust and butterscotch to nut and nut to clay.” All of these rich browns affirm identity for a little girl who was not born in Haiti but feels safe, like she belongs. There is an author’s note that explains about the birth story of Haiti, as well as a glossary to help with the Kreyòl (Creole) expressions.
