_{by Richardo Keens Douglas and Stefan Czernecki}

An original Afro/Caribbean creation story, featuring a humourous dialogue between Mama God and Papa God as they busy themselves with the task of creating the universe.

Reviews

“'Mama God and Papa God lived in the empty darkness.' So begins a creation tale notable for its vivid Haitian-style art (double-page spreads that dazzle), for a nicely cadenced text that begs to be read aloud and, not least, for its gender-equity approach to the nature of God.” -- Susan Perren, Toronto Globe and Mail
