Caribbean Folklore Tales for Children

Papa Bois Saves the Day

Abijah loves nothing more than snapping pictures of the world around him. On vacation at his grandfather’s home at the edge of the forest, every day feels like an adventure. When a trip to a nearby waterfall with his cousins ends in an afternoon nap, Abijah wanders off with his camera, following the bright wings of parrots. But as night falls, he realizes he is lost, and fear creeps in with the shadows.

Just when the forest feels its scariest, Papa Bois, the gentle, wise Father of the Forest appears. He shelters Abijah for the night, sharing warmth, safety, and even a hearty breakfast. By morning, Papa Bois leads Abijah back to his worried family, teaching him that the forest is both powerful and protective.

Just when hope seems lost, Mama D’leau, the powerful and magical mother of the oceans, rivers, and seas appears. With her shimmering presence and gentle guidance, she calms the waters and leads Asha and Aniya safely back home.
