They were asked to send in a video about their work as a writer, the books that they have published, and to read a paragraph out of their works.During the book week, children have been encouraged by the authors to read more.
Author Loekie Morales has been granted two stories to be published in this unique edition with several historic events. These stories are written from the perspective of children, participating in these historical events.
Morales stated in a press release I am super happy and grateful that the Biblioteka Nashonal Krsou has honored two of my stories to be part of this unique Gift book’ for the Children Bookweek 2020.
Definitely my ‘Willemstad on Fire’ about a revolt in Curaao and ‘The Collapsing of Queen Juliana bridge’ are fitting the criteria.
Morales has handed over 2 copies of the BNK book to the director, Glenderin Holiday, of the Jubilee Library on Wednesday.
