Lizzy Lizard meets Minister of Education Lourens
Great Bay, St. Martin (August 4, 2013)—The Lizzy Lizard tour recently made a stop here at the office of Minister of Education, Culture, Sports & Youth Affairs Patricia Lourens (R). Minister Lourens graciously received 50 copies of the children’s adventure book from its author Robin Boasman (L). “Minister Lourens assured me that one copy would be archived and one would be sent to the Department of Culture, while the rest would be distributed to the various public schools,” said Boasman. The presentation (6.27.13) of the increasingly popular Lizzy Lizard was made in keeping with the April 2012 subsidy by the ministry toward the storybook’s publication, said Jacqueline Sample, president of House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP).
Lizzy Lizard by Robin Boasman, an adventure in making new friends in St. Martin
Great Bay, St. Martin (June 16, 2013)—Lizzy Lizard by Robin Boasman is a “darling contribution to the children’s literature of the Caribbean,” said Jamie Alleyne, a learning and child development consultant in Dominica.
In Lizzy Lizard, little Lizzy leaves her sea grape tree house at the University of St. Martin (USM) because of a busy construction day on campus. Her walk takes her past the saltpickers monument, atop the Court House, and quickly turns into an adventure in and around Philipsburg, traditionally called Great Bay.
According to the publisher, Lizzy Lizard will prove popular with confident independent readers; and with families who can spend time reading it together and seeing fascinating animals and places of St. Martin’s busiest city.
