I want to ride the tap tap

Danielle Joseph ; pictures by Olivier Ganthier

"Monday through Saturday, Claude and Manman walk Papa to the tap tap stop, where Claude meets all sorts of interesting people waiting for the tap tap. Claude wants to join Papa, but Claude has classes at school and chores at home... On Sunday, Manman and Papa have a surprise for Claude--a ride on the tap tap! They go to the beach, where they meet a lady selling mangoes, a fisherman, a straw-hat maker, a steel drummer, and an artist. They show Claude how to fish, make hats, play the drums, and paint. With Haitian Creole words sprinkled throughout and a glossary at the end, this is a warm and lively portrayal of everyday life in Haiti."--, Provided by publisher
