2022 Library of Congress children's selection for Great Reads from Great Places - US Virgin Islands
James and the Fireburn is a story within a story, beautifully woven by best-selling author, Angela Golden Bryan. It is important for children to learn right from wrong and to avoid destructive bullying behavior. James and the Fireburn not only provides lessons in making wise choices for children, it also teaches them a bit of US Caribbean history in the process. This book takes challenging subjects and presents them in a fun rhyme, making both the story and lesson easier to learn and remember. In an age-appropriate manner, James and the Fireburn explores what happens when silence prevails and also encourages children to stand up for what is right.
