Grannie and the Jumbie, A carribean Tale by Margaret M. Hurst.

This brilliantly illustrated story captures the vibrancy of Caribbean folklore. Each piece of fabric is from the author’s native St. Thomas & is infused with the island’s cultural traditions. Emanuel hear about ghost, spirit, & Jumbie once in a while. Emanuel, he say one day, ”Why I should be scare dis way?” Emanuel is tired of being lectured by his grandmother. ”Jumbie dis an’ Jumbie dat, an’ t’row de salt over you left shoulder.” He doesn’t believe Grannie’s old-fashioned superstitions — until one day evil Jumbie pays him a visit!
