Children's Book Recommendations! 🇹🇹

In this post, we'll be highlighting a variety of children's books, produced by authors based in Trinidad and Tobago! Many of these writers brilliantly volunteered to tell stories to the children of East Port of Spain for Literacy Day Extravaganza in 2022 - (you can read all about that event HERE)
