Lairo means land crab in the Fijian language, and on Lairo Island there are suddenly hundreds of them. A peaceful village wakes to find their island overrun by an army of mischievous crabs crawling everywhere. How will the villagers outsmart the lairo before chaos takes over?
Filled with colourful illustrations and playful storytelling, Lairo Island captures the humour, imagination and charm of island life. Young readers will love the lively characters and adults will enjoy sharing a uniquely Pacific story with their children.
Each book is written and illustrated by renowned Fiji artist Sharon Light. After more than fifteen years painting apparel she turned to fine art in 2003. A passionate fisher and diver who holds the women’s world record for great barracuda, Sharon is a descendant of a settler family that came to Fiji in 1869 to grow cotton in Ra, and that deep island connection runs through all her stories.
