Right this very moment, my sister is in Jamaica with MY VERY OWN DAUGHTER, for her 18th birthday. My mom and I were told NOT TO CALL OR TEXT THEM AT ALL. I feel so bad that my daughter could not even let me say Happy Birthday, on her big milestone.Then this beautiful book came up on Amazon like it was meant to be! It is a children's book, yes. However, it is the perfect read for all ages. It is not a simplified version, but a real travel guide/history lesson in one that is so incredible!  The pictures in this book are absolutely priceless. Il loved the "White Witch of Rose Hall" tour.I never knew that there had been earthquakes in that area so long ago. I was shocked that that land fell into the ocean and the number of casualties! We heard of the Haiti one, of course. But, a piece of Port Royal, Jamdung falling into the water.  That photo of the small "giddy" house that was kind of swallowed by the sand is fascinating, but kind of spooky at the same time. Could people have been or may be swallowed in an earthquake?!I saw that the book was short; enough to hold a child's attention. However, I just realised that there was so much that I learned about the island and its rich culture. I have read "jerk chicken" recipes on Amazon, and always wanted to see how it is supposed to be cooked the right way. I could almost step into that picture to help myself. I really learned a very great deal of information about Jamdung. When my daughter comes home, I can fill her in on all the fun things to see and do there, other than swim in that turquoise blue water and buy souvenirs. She will believe I took my own trip there. I virtually did, and was it ever exciting!!!!
