Hand-sewn fabric illustrations distinguish this tale inspired by Caribbean folklore. When Emanuel, "a very small chile," disobeys his grandmother, he provokes the wrath of the village's spiritual protector, Mista Mocko Jumbie. The text is so skeletal that the author's notes and glossary are essential reading, but the "story fabric" technique is impressive and expressive.
