Overview

Stori, Stori - Caribbean Tales With a Little Jazz is an interactive aural and visual adventure for children. The book comes with a downloadable CD narrated by the author. The stories weave their way through the rhythms of countries in the Caribbean and explores the expression of Jazz in the United States.

The illustrations are created by talented upcoming artists Ngarledge Ngarndingabe, Tricia Ramsay and Ivan. Three of the stories are written by Ettosi and a fourth is an adaptation of a Jamaican folktale.
