Superstitions were a way to ensure that children followed the rules of their elders through creative scare tactics. This book explores superstitions throughout the Caribbean, particularly the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago. This book is intended to be a way to pass our cultural heritage on in a comedic and light-hearted way for all to enjoy.
