Cassi da Conch is an inspiring story about a little conch shell who discovers the importance of being herself.
Cassi hopes to win the Caribbean Conch Contest like Mama Conch and Grandmama Conch did many year before. Contestants will be judged on their unique and special qualities. Cassi isn't sure what makes her special and asks her friend Snapper for help. Snapper suggests they see what the other contestants are up to get some ideas so Cassi can win the contest. Will Cassi ever realize she only needs to look within herself to find what makes her extraordinary?
The bright illustrations and charming characters add to the enjoyment of this charming little story that teaches children to be themselves.
I recommend picking up a copy of Cassi da Conch.

One thing I really liked about this book was the information at the end about the different types of conchs. I enjoy books that are entertaining, teach a lesson, such as we are all special in our own way, and has more information at the end. This book has all that, plus wonderful illustrations.
