Heather and the Colours of Her Island

0:00/1:34

On the island of Antigua, where the sun paints the sea gold each morning, there lived a girl named Heather who saw colours everywhere.

She saw blue not just in the sky, but in laughter.
She saw green in dancing trees.
She saw red in joy.

While others used crayons to draw what they saw, Heather used her imagination to draw what she felt.

When she grew older, she turned those colours into art — bright costumes, bold flags, and patterns that told stories about her island.
One day, her designs became part of Antigua and Barbuda’s national costume — a proud symbol of who her people are.

When children saw her work, they saw themselves — strong, creative, and full of life.

Heather smiled and said,


“Art is not just for walls. It’s for hearts.”


And from that day, her colours danced across the Caribbean — reminding every child that their culture is a masterpiece waiting to shine.
