Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections

While designing Captured by Corona, childrens author and BKE founder Loekie Morales wanted to make an even larger impact with a poster to underscore the books message.
With Montessori teacher Marianne Tefft, who proofread the book, Morales mused about the notions of washing hands, wearing masks and keeping social distance.
In a variation on the traditional classroom 3Rs of Reading, Writing and Rithmetic, Tefft spun the Covid-19 protocols into the easy-to-recall 3Ws — Wear a Mask, Wash Your Hands & Widen the Social Distance and suggested the three-fingered W hand-sign to reinforce the message.
Together, the pair brainstormed the poster-image Super Girl, whom Morales nicknamed Winnie. Shes a real winner, healthy and powerful and practicing the 3Ws, Morales says. If every child follows these Covidprevention rules, theyll be winners, too.
BKEs Captured by Corona books and Follow the 3Wposters were subsidized by N.V GEBE, Prince Bernhard Cultural Fund Caribbean and UNESCO.
