About the Book
The scarcity of the breed is due to deforestation and erosion in the country. As a result, the forgotten bird is no longer one of the ambassadors of the nation and the role tends to solely be held by the Hibiscus Flower.
This book wants to raise awareness about the existence of the Trogon bird which served as a symbol of Haïti for many years.
It invites us to deal with the lingering issues that lead to the threatening of a portion of our heritage.
Trogon, also known as “Kanson Wouj” (red trousers) because of his red belly, sings a song of hope to remind that change starts with us. His new acquired friends get to learn from him, unaware of the reputation he holds.

About the Creator
Nathalie Jean-Baptiste, also known as Nathalie Lubin, is a Haitian artist, storyteller, and creative host who paints and evokes emotion in its rawest form. Her paintings, through bold colors and intimate portraits, transform loneliness into beauty and human vulnerability into strength. Beyond the canvas, Nathalie brings her artistry to life through her Dinner Experiences, a series of intimate gatherings that blend culinary artistry, culture, and conversation. It was never in the stars for Nathalie to express herself solely through painting; her gift for translation of emotions also led her to use her Haitian heritage and curiosity for traditional cooking as her palette, turning the act of hosting into an art form of its own. Everything she creates is a reflection of her home, her family history, her inner world and the women who live within it. Nathalie’s curiosity fuels her creations and her desire to share knowledge through art and experience.
