Janjak and Freda Go to the Iron Market by Elizabeth J. Turnbull (2013, Paperback)
As well as throwing a launch party to celebrate the release of 'Janjak and Freda', Elizabeth's mother went to visit Haiti armed with copies and Elizabeth has written us a little account of her trip: While there, my mother visited the first rural preschool in Haiti, which she founded. She gave a copy of Janjak and Freda to each of the teachers she saw.
I couldn't think of anyone I would rather have reading our story than the children in rural Haiti. There are very few books written in their native Haitian creole, and fewer still that are designed to be a true children's story.
