Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten CuracaosBibliotekaNashonalKorsou(BNK)library has selected a story bySintMaarten-based childrens author Loekie Morales for inclusion in its new 15-story compilation for 2021.
When I learned from BNK that my work would be included in their prestigious storybook, I was super-happy, said Morales, whose Beyond KulturaFoundation launched its own anthology, Captured by Corona, In March 2021.
The theme of this years book is What I Would Like ToBe. Authors were asked to write about a child in Curaao who is choosing a profession.
Says Morales: My story, Wat Shisha echt wil worden(What Shisha Really Wants to Be), concerns an 11-year-old girl who learns about the limited job opportunities that her mother and grandmother endured. Shisha knows that she can study, and she chooses to become a pilot — a profession still mainly chosen by boys. By pursuing her dream, she can help others in remote areas.
This years BNK storybook will serve as a gift for Childrens Book Week and be distributed to all primary schools in Curaao.
