In captivating full-colour illustrations, this story unfolds a tapestry of dance, celebration, carnival, and slavery, exploring the profound journey of a family in understanding their past to shape their future. Set in the vibrant streets of contemporary Notting Hill, Man-man and his friends find themselves caught up in the exhilarating preparations for the upcoming carnival. Amidst the festive atmosphere, Man-man's mother falls ill, and he desperately seeks the help of the Queen of Revels, an ancient entity known for her healing powers. Guided by his best friend Kareem and his sharp-tongued sister Panama, Man-man is transported to a mysterious realm, where the Queen of Revels reveals his family's rich heritage. As they gather around the sacred Tree of Memories, Man-man witnesses the suffering and longing of countless slaves, their pain etched into the very essence of the tree. He comprehends the toll it takes on his mother and resolves to help her reclaim the freedom that was stolen from his ancestors. Through their ancestral connections and the power of the Queen of Revels, Man-man and his family embark on a transformative journey, confronting the dark chapters of their past and embracing the promise of a brighter future.
