Sheribaby is a feisty, full of spunk, insight and charm almost seven-year-old who soaks up every aspect of her life, and all that’s happening around her like a sponge. Sheribaby has a strong sense of self although she is only six and half years old, she is a little girl with a mouth and an attitude older than herself.
Sheribaby delves into a slice of life, in a world that borrows heavily from real life places, people and events and could very well have happened in that time but this is a story of fiction. This is a story many in the diaspora of a certain age will identify with. It’s a story about life in yesteryear, post-Independence Jamaica 1962. This story touches on the political, the social, the financial, the emotional, the “churchical” and the psychological dynamics colliding during that time. Themes of domestic, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, examinations of the irrational reverence in political party identity, who are you JLP or PNP?
