About these pages

The Olé family (say it “oh-lay”) is a Black Caribbean-American family: big sister Ginger-O, little brother Mang-O, Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. They run a juice store and keep a garden, and their hair grows into ginger petals and mango leaves. You can read about each of them on the family page.

The pages are drawn for ages 4 to 8, with bold outlines and big open spaces. They show an African American and Caribbean family in ordinary, happy moments: cooking, gardening, making music, looking after each other.
