Jerk Chicken Magic
In many countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, Caribbean immigrants form a significant portion of the population. However, finding narratives, particularly children’s stories, that reflect their experiences can be a challenge.
To bridge this gap, Noel-Andrew and Roxanne Bennett, a husband and wife duo, have introduced their heartwarming children’s picture book, “Jerk Chicken Magic.” The book quickly gained recognition, debuting as a #1 Bestseller in Multicultural Stories for Children and #1 in New Releases in Children’s Books on Immigration on Amazon CA and US.
A touching tribute to immigrant families, “Jerk Chicken Magic” explores the challenges many immigrants encounter in their new homes while highlighting the cultural significance of preserving traditional recipes and customs passed down through generations.
The heartwarming story follows the multigenerational Higgins family as they prepare for a special day. Narrated through the eyes of Lizzy Higgins, their inquisitive six-year-old daughter, the culinary magic of jerk chicken, a beloved Jamaican export, takes center stage.
The journey of the Higgins family mirrors the experiences of many immigrant families. The book celebrates the rich history and traditions these families maintain while navigating the challenges of starting anew. It offers a unique perspective on this journey through the eyes of a child.
-Roxanne Bennett
Writing this book resonated deeply with us. As Jamaican-Canadians, we identify with the Higgins family, and we believe other families will see parts of their immigrant journey in them as well.
