A red tricycle. A homemade rag doll. A tree swing swaying under a Caribbean sun.

In this heartfelt and vivid memoir-like narrative, the writer brings to life the world of early childhood through the character of Pirulo-a spirited, wide-eyed kid who turns sidewalks, rooftops, and backyards into stages for wonder, rebellion, and discovery. The Games of My Childhood is not just a trip down memory lane; it's a tribute to the joy, grit, and unspoken lessons hidden in the simplest of games.

Told with tenderness and insight, these stories reflect a time when childhood was messy, improvised, and deeply felt. From marbles to bottle caps, kites to rag dolls, each chapter captures the raw poetry of growing up with little-but feeling like you had everything.

This is a book for anyone who remembers what it means to fall, get up, and keep playing. A moving reminder that the first games we play often teach us the most.

Let the games begin again.
