Story
I found inspiration to pen another children’s book just this morning (November 20, 2023). This time, it draws from the lives of my father, Mr. Stifford John Snow, a farmer in Coker, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, and my Uncle-in-law, Mr. Vinrow Small, from St. Mary, Jamaica. And so, I have chosen to entitle it The Rasta Farmer. The purpose of writing this book is to pay homage to these two remarkable individuals my biological father, Mr. Stifford John Snow and my Uncle-in-law, Mr. Vinrow Small, who raised me from the age of twelve (12) to twenty-six (26) years old.

Story
Have you ever met a sock monster? A real sock monster? No? Neither have I, but this story is all about something that happened to me when I was nine. I hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. My English teacher, Miss Wright, loved it when she read it and said that it confirmed everything that she had ever thought about me, even if she didn't actually say what it was that she had thought about me.
