The Secret of the Chunte

An illustrated digital story that takes readers to Corozal, where the Caribbean Sea sings against the cayucos and a boy named Laruni hides a shameful secret in his backpack: the lunch his grandmother prepared for him.

When a schoolmate makes fun of his Chunte, Laruni hides his food and his pride. But that night, his grandfather Satuye tells him the truth behind the fish his family has eaten for generations — a story of strength, survival, and Garifuna roots — and Laruni learns that what made him feel ashamed is, in reality, his greatest treasure.
