Description

Red, White and You! is an inspirational children’s book series that celebrates the intersection of faith, talent, and Trinbagonian heritage. Each installment follows the journey of a young visionary- from their first “mustard seed” spark of interest to the global stages where they represent the Red, White and Black.

Grounded in Christian values, these stories teach children that their abilities are not just hobbies, but “kingdom assignments” meant to uplift their community and honour their country. Through the eyes of our characters, readers will discover the rich history of Trinidad and Tobago’s icons, learning that to lead a nation, one must first be rooted in faith.

The Calling shows how a young girl discovers the beauty of Culture, Folk and Liturgical dance. As she grows from the village stage to the national spotlight, she learns to use her body as a vessel for praise, honoring the rhythmic heartbeat of her ancestors and her Creator.

“Praise Him with the timbrel and dance.” – Psalm 150: 4
