Adventures Of Wyetta

Like most of the other Caribbean islands, St. Lucia celebrates a colorful carnival festival each year. This is a time of calypso music, costumed bands, playing mas, steel bands, pageantry, dancing, fun, excitement, and more. St. Lucian children love to participate in carnival. Each child may have a different experience depending on what activities their parents plan for them. Luckily, Wyetta's parents were into carnival, and was Wyetta. This story is Wyetta's exciting experience of one carnival. Join her as she shares this adventure.

Every island in the Caribbean has unusual or eccentric characters. St. Lucia is no exception. Imagine what it would be like if our inquisitive little heroine, Wyetta, went to visit Muh Seebo, one of the island's most unusual and notorious individuals. This exciting and eventful story tells what happened when Wyetta and her family paid a visit to the "gaje" lady who lived by herself in a village with her fruit trees, flowers, and chickens. This story is about more than scary adventures, however. It looks at how people who may be private, unusual, or simply different are often seen and treated by others. Wyetta reflects many of the same fears and beliefs of the adults around her. But being Wyetta, the scary stories told about Muh Seebo cannot save her from her own curiosity and impulses.
