What’s it about:
Charisse J. Broome celebrates her homeland of Trinidad and Tobago in this unique children’s picture book. Through the rhyming poem Awesome Fathe
r, Broome aims to showcase Trinidad and Tobago's idyllic, natural habitat and to teach children to be proud of their tropical environment. She explains that she hopes her readers will learn to value the beauty within themselves and “to honour God, the Father”. Broome describes her work as “a colourful, giddy and delightful story about love...perfect love”.
Broome aspires to bring the culture and language of her home country to curious, young readers and adults locally and internationally. She has a Spanish version of Awesome Father in the works and is endeavouring to make it part of the Trinidad and Tobago school syllabus. “I hope readers the world over - children as well as parents, aunts as well as uncles - will be inspired, re-ignited and impassioned to fall in love with their awesome surroundings, with their awesome selves and with each awesome other”.
It seems she is already achieving her goal with Amazon reviews from the United States, Canada and Australia. “This is a great book for children,” notes one reviewer. “It teaches them to be grateful for who they are and everything else around them". Another reader exclaims at the vibrant colours. “I found this book an adventurous wonder.."
