    About this ebook

    This is about a Christmas in the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad and Tobago. Readers are guesting with Anansi and his family a second time. Anansi is usually grumpy and selfish if he does not like the weather, but he is puzzled at the same time because he reflects on a puzzling experience that teaches him to consider the real meaning of Christmas.
