Today, we had a visit from author Donna Seim. She has written a book called ‘Where is Simon, Sandy?’ which retells a Caribbean folktale about a donkey that wouldn’t quit. Donna took the scene of our capital island of Grand Turk for the setting of her story. All the children in Grades 1, 2 and 3 enjoyed listening to Donna read the story and they had plenty of comments and questions to ask her. At the end, the children sang the TCI cultural song, ‘Dry Conch’ to Donna as a thank you. Donna was accompanied by Mr. David Bowen, our Director of Culture. She kindly donated a copy of the book for our library, but if you want your own copy, you can buy it at the Unicorn Bookstore. All proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Turks and Caicos National Museum’s children’s programme.
