Take a picture, share it anywhere

Artwork from six Bahamian children's books. All of it is free to download and free to repost — on WhatsApp, on Instagram, in a classroom newsletter, anywhere you like.

Every picture carries a code. Underneath each one is a strip with the book's name and a square code. Anyone who scans that code goes straight to the book on Amazon. That is how a picture keeps working after you have shared it, so please leave the strip on.
