Drummer boy of John John is a children's book about a boy named Winston and his experience in celebrating carnival living in Trinidad. I loved this book. I thought that the illustrations were fantastic, they were bright and colorful and did an excellent job at depicting the culture of the island of Trinidad. The illustrations contain just fun details and aid in bringing the words to live in an exciting way. Another reason why I loved this book is because of the characters. The main Character Winston is very relatable because he is just a fun loving kid who wants to enjoy his holiday with his family. Overall this book is an excellent account of the holiday of Carnival, as well as the culture of Trinidad.

This book is a very exciting read! It features so many different types of music and food which inspires the reader. I would love to share this with students.
