Description
by Sapphire Manley (Author)
Jamaican like me tells of a beautiful Summer experience, filled with fun, play, laughter and food. The author, 8year old Sapphire who was born in Jamaica but moved to Philadelphia as an infant uses the book to make the connections between herself currently as a child and her mother's childhood.
Outdoor games, hanging with cousins and friends, being with her grandparents and other happy moments of creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Jamaican like me plays on the inner conflict of a young immigrant who is trying to navigate the world she now lives in, that she loves her home in the USA but has a strong yearning to not only know about herself but to experience more through childish play. The book shows the beauty and blissfulness of being a child in Jamaica and the beauty of being bicultural.
