Island Magic: African & Caribbean Folklore Traditions and Mermaids
with Award-Winning Author Lisa Stringfellow
In honor of Juneteenth and Caribbean Heritage Month, guest author Lisa Stringfellow will share the inspiration behind her acclaimed debut middle grade novel, A Comb of Wishes. Rooted in Caribbean culture, folklore, and the magic of mermaid tales, the novel follows young Kela, who discovers a mysterious mermaid’s comb and makes an impossible wish.
Perfect for younger audiences and families, the program will also feature a special read-aloud of The Mermaid Princesses by Maya Cameron-Gordon, followed by a fun hands-on activity inspired by the themes of wonder, storytelling, and creativity.
Lisa Stringfellow is also the author of middle grade novel Kingdom of Dust.
This program is sponsored by The Friends of the Woodstock Library and The Woodstock Juneteenth Advisory Board.
