Kavadlo and His Diamond Pills

by Paul Ferrier, Katherine Gettys (Illustrator)

Overview

Offering herein are the reflections of Paul E. Ferrier, a native of Haiti who grew up during a time before television was available to entertain and expand horizons of children. During his early childhood, elders of his family and community verbally relayed, often quite expressively and with the exuberant gestures, tales passed down through generations. Although reciting stories to youngsters have been replaced in modern society by multiple media, Paul wishes to keep these stories - so germane to his heritage - alive for future generations.

Many years ago, there was a wise man called Kavadlo. Come with Kavadlo on a spiritual journey filled with wondrous sights both joyful and tragic as he searches for his purpose in the world. You will be glad you did!

About the Author

Paul Ferrier was born on a tropical island in Cayes, a Haitian town, in 1957. Virtually from his infancy, the Ferrier's struggled to meet their son's insatiable appetite for learning. By the age of 12 not only was he continuing to read and learn everything available to him, Paul began writing poetry. He also taught first grade in his native Haiti. Eventually Paul's desire for knowledge made him leave his native Haiti. He attended College in New York and Atlanta and lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and three daughters.
