Dear Queen,
Through this letter, it is my profound pleasure to introduce myself. I am
a Bahamian Children’s book author, a youth mentor and an advocate for
children’s literacy. I am a mother of two, a wife, an entrepreneur and I
hold a Master’s Degree in Business Management and Finance.
My children’s book, Benny & Bree: The Lost Toy was launched in
December of 2015 at Joseph’s Bookstore & Gallery along with Former
Deputy Prime Minister Cynthia “Mother” Pratt and Jamboree Kids Pre
School. Since the book launch, I have had the opportunity to interview
with Mr. Wendell Jones from Jones Communication Network and with
Clint Watson at ZNS. I also had the privilege of interviewing with and
presenting my book to The Hon. Jerome Fitzgerald Minister of
Education, Science, and Technology.
I believe that quality books for young children and beginning readers are
a necessity in assisting with increasing literacy and a love for reading.
Nurturing and developing young minds to succeed early in our
institutions seeks to eliminate the perils of illiteracy in the future. My
book represents the type of material that every parent and child will find
useful.
Growing up I loved reading comics and romance novels, as I got older
my love for books, and writing increased. That love of reading and
writing developed a desire in me to one day be a published author. I
have written poetry, inspirational, motivational and a three series
children’s book. I have published one of the three books from the series
"Benny & Bree". The books are based on two siblings’ adventures, their
fears, trials, and triumphs. I based the characters in my books on my
two children Benjamin and Breana, and their many adventures. I never
thought that my first published book would be a children’s book,
however, fate would have it that was the one published first.
