What “Sleep Sweet, Lil Nutmeg” Means
Grenada is nicknamed the 'Isle of Spice' and is one of the world's top nutmeg producers, its scent found across the island, while Grand Etang, a crater lake, sits at its mountainous heart. This original lullaby borrows both, the spice-scented air and the still crater lake.
