It's market day in Barbados and Mari is excited to help Granny sell guavas. But a fallen sugarcane cart causes:
a blocked road
no customers &
no earnings to buy the other goods they need
Mari must find a solution or she'll be eating only guavas all week long.#KidLitPit #PB #BVM

Daddy teaches Addae to play steelpan. Its ting tong brings Addae joy until cousin Makayla's playing makes the pan cry. During her visits, he makes excuses why she can't play. Until he realizes she has no one to teach her & sets out to make pan a family tradition #Kidlitpit #PB

Cuffie teaches Johnny to play African drum beats which they use to signal a slave rebellion. When it fails, they are forced to play a military march. But Johnny sneaks few beats in: birthing a new type of music-Tuk & giving others hope that freedom soon come #Kidlitpit #PB #BVM
