Day 9: Patoo
I wanted to combine what I imagined in Miss Lou's rendition of the folktale 'Anancy and Pattoo' while also incorporating elements of the national bird of Jamaica the Streamertail Hummingbird! Have you heard of Patoo? #misslou#patoo#caribbeanfolklore#caribbeanheritagemonth#owl #kidlitart

On 6 August 1962, Jamaica gained independence after more than 300 years of British colonial rule.
Today we also remember Louise Bennett-Coverley (1919–2006), known as “Miss Lou.” She played a vital role in preserving Jamaican culture.

Happy birthday 🥳, #MissLou!

If she was alive today, Dr. Louise Bennett Coverley would have been 106 years old.

It is no surprise to share that she is the biggest influence and muse in my work.
