Liline & Pepper: A Morning with Grann

In Book 2 of this early reader series about a Haitian-American girl named Liline, her cat Pepper, and their multi-generational family, Liline and Pepper learn a little about Grann's homeland, Haiti, during the morning routine of getting ready for school.

"Not only does this early reader address the first day of kindergarten, an important milestone for children, it also gently introduces Haiti in a simple and positive light and is a great title to share with children interested in the country. Back matter includes a glossary of Haitian-Creole words and information on Haitian culture, language, and coffee, supplemented with photographs and illustrations. A recommended first day of school story that is also an introduction to Haiti."
