Caribbean Creatures: Modern Anansi Folklore Stories is a contemporary Caribbean folklore coloring and storybook, guided by Anansi and inspired by traditional myths, legends, and cultural characters from across the region.
These modern retellings revisit familiar figures from Caribbean storytelling — not to explain them away, but to sit with them. Each story pauses long enough to explore what folklore still holds about power, consequence, memory, belief, and survival in the present day.
Blending short literary stories with black-and-white illustrations designed for coloring, this book invites readers to slow down, reflect, and engage creatively with Caribbean culture. Some tales unsettle. Others offer warmth or relief. All are rooted in tradition, shaped by lived experience, and thoughtfully reimagined.
Created for readers aged 10+ and adults alike, Caribbean Creatures is both a coloring book and a storytelling collection — one that honors where these stories come from and leaves space for where they might go next.
About the Author:
Simone Jacelon is a multidisciplinary artist, author, and Creative Director from Trinidad and Tobago, with roots in Barbados. Her work bridges fine art, storytelling, and design, blending surrealism, heritage, and imagination.
As the creative lead, she has guided creative and digital teams for over two decades, while cultivating a distinctive fine art practice rooted in Caribbean identity and symbolism. Her paintings and illustrations explore emotional and spiritual resilience through colour, nature, and form.
Simone is the creator of Colour Me Caribbean™, a book series that celebrates the region’s history and culture through educational art and storytelling. She hopes her work helps children and adults alike see the Caribbean as a place of wonder, creativity, and pride.
