read to me it was a summer day
the sun was shining and jojo and gran gran were chatting to great gran gran on the tablet
jojo my little sunshine how lovely to see you great gran gran said
hello great gran gran smiled jojo wow wow what are you wearing
this is my carnival costume said great gran gran today is the start of
saint lucia carnival and she tooted a whistle
hmm what's carnival said jojo
great gran gran chuckled it's a special celebration we have on the island once a year
we dance and eat delicious food with our family and friends
we all dress up and take part in a big parade
it's always been my dream to ride the carnival float maybe next year
can we go to saint lucia carnival today jojo asks gran gran
i'm afraid we can't gran gran said it's too far away jojo was disappointed
but don't worry i have a gran gran plan we can have our own carnival in my garden
yay said jojo excitedly yay
gran gran said to jojo let's invite everyone to our carnival they made pretty invitations
and handed them out to cynthia jared ezra and all their family and friends
what do we do now said jojo
gran gran replied you can't have a carnival without scrumptious food
mmm said jojo
i'll make my famous soursop juice and spicy chicken stew delicious said jojo
while the stew was cooking gran gran put all the ingredients into a blender and whizzed it up
jojo had a little taste yummy said jojo
shall we decorate the garden now said jojo good idea said gran gran
so they hung up colorful flags and decorated jojo's trolley with bright flowers and streamers
now we need to make a special kind of hat for our carnival called a headdress said gran gran
jojo's headdress had blue yellow feathers gran grans had red and green feathers
soon it was time for jojo and gran gran's carnival all the guests arrived
gran gran said we're missing one more special person
she turned on the tablet and called great gran gran in saint lucia
great gran gran couldn't believe it when she saw all the guests and all the food and
all the decorations what a wonderful carnival she laughed
jojo put the tablet on their float look great gran gran
smiled jojo as gran gran pulled them around the garden in the trolley you're on the carnival float
whoopee laughed great gran gran this is the best carnival i've ever been to
everyone had a wonderful time dancing to the music
eating the tasty chicken stew and drinking the delicious soursop juice
after the carnival was over jojo said that was fun can we do it again next year
