| Jethro and the Jumbie |
|
| illustrated by Ashley Bryan |
|
| Angry at his older brother for not keeping a promise, Jethro stomps off and meets a fearsome jumbie (a Caribbean shape-shifting spirit). Using the inspired threat of obliterating the jumbie by not believing in it, he enlists its help in changing his brother's mind. This is a warmhearted story written in the island idiom of the author’s beloved British Virgin Islands and sketched from Ashley Bryan’s Antigua. |
