What’s It About:
Charisse J. Broome is re-releasing her whimsical colouring book, Patsie's Peculiar Pastelles - A Colouring Book for Kids the perfect gift for your favourite young reader.
Broome self- published the story of a lady whose peculiar pastelles capture the minds and mouths of her community, Maloney in Trinidad and Tobago. “God gave her an idea and Patsie began preparing potent pastelles for people on public holidays,” Broome states of her colourful character. "Pretty soon Patsie became prominent for her peculiar pastelle making prowess.”
In keeping with her other works, Broome promotes the culture of her native Trinidad and Tobago
through her story. She highlights the country’s popular cornmeal pie filled with meat or vegetable
fillings - a Christmas tradition.
“It was first a poem,” says Broome, “but I wanted to give more, explore more and saw that this one might have potential for more, so I gave it a go.” Besides the lyrical story, the book features illustrations designed to engage colouring enthusiasts of all ages.
The author hopes to pass on inspiring messages of hope and resilience through the Patsie's Peculiar Pastelles story. “I want to remind people that we can do all [good]things well through Christ, that we can depend on God to deposit good ideas in us to help us overcome in difficult times”. She adds that like Patsie, we can use our God-given gifts and talents to honour God and leave a constructive mark on the world.
Broome has been receiving positive responses on her lyrical story from both children and their guardians. Stay tuned for more news on Pastelle Queen Patsie!
