Publisher's Note
Tavio and Policarpio are Caribs, a coastal people native to Belize. Carpio is a very important man, for he alone remembers the art of basket weaving and can make the new cassava squeezer that is necessary for the survival of the village. Tavio, realizing that his grandfather's health is failing, decides to apprentice with Carpio so that someday he, too, can become the village basket weaver. Full color.

Industry Reviews
"Crespo effectively recreates the tropical warmth of the Caribbean--the waves seem to lap at the shores. A thoughtful tale about the importance of keeping traditions alive."
Brookner
