Blue Banyan Books Irie Morning

Waking up can be hard to do! Despite the alluring sounds of birds, cows and dogs that try to draw him out from beneath the covers, Kingston just wants to stay in bed. He must decide whether he will give in to sleep or be true to his adventurous and fun-loving nature.

Irie Morning is a children’s picture book featuring a delightful poem and engaging watercolour illustrations. Eight-year-old Kingston lives on the cliffs of Negril with his family, and he’s probably the most irie boy you will ever meet.

Irie Morning captures the sensibility of a Jamaican childhood, the sights, the sounds the smells: from the crow of a rooster in the morning to the mouthwatering smells of sweet sugar dumplings rising up from the kitchen.
