This perfectly Illustrated children's book is based on Dominica's Cultural dance (specifically the traditional dance), which aim is to bring awareness to the younger generation; not only teaching them to embrace their culture but to accept who they are as an individual.In reference to the word "Ti Matado" in the title, Ti means small in creole, but the 'Bella' character - the main player in the book is by no means small.
