About the Author

Dr. Jaclyn A. Sandman-Vazquez grew up on Long Island and moved to central Florida in her early twenties, where she became a middle school teacher. When one of her students asked her what mittens were and expressed that Christmas isn’t the same in tropical weather, the idea for this book was always in the back of her mind. The idea became tenfold when Sandman-Vazquez and her husband, Jose, who is from Puerto Rico, welcomed their daughter in 2019. Sandman-Vazquez didn’t ever want her daughter, Jessalyn, to feel like she was missing anything growing up in a beautiful, warm climate. She hopes you enjoy reading this book to your family, which has small touches of Caribbean life for any boy or girl who may feel like they’re missing something.
