A heartwarming, insightful and touching story featuring elements to characters, especially a Black single-parent father, which is rarely portrayed without bias.
It's Easter in Jamaica, so when Kendi's dad takes him to Lucea, the sights and sounds of the little seaside town fill the ten-year-old boy's heart and mind. And like many other children, Kendi wants one thing for Easter. A kite!
There's just one problem.
His father, a single-parent dad struggling with alcoholism and depression has the capability, but he lacks the will. Nevertheless, if a single match can brighten a dungeon, then perhaps a poor boy’s dream can bring his father back from the brink of ruin.
For lovers of Jamaican, Caribbean and Black literature the world over.
