In her book Caribbean Alphabet, written with husband, Mark Greenwood, Lessac's relies on her gouache paintings and naïve style to illustrate sights, sounds, and activities from the Caribbean. Each letter represents some aspect of Caribbean culture and island life, from familiar activities such as fishing and kite flying to less well-known pursuits such as limbo dancing.
