The Prime Minister of St. Maarten the Honorable Sarah Wescot-Williams attended the launching of the Children’s Book Lizzy Lizard by young St. Maarten Author Robin Boasman at the Closing Ceremony and Book Launch Party of the eleventh annual St. Maarten’s Book Fair on Saturday. The Prime Minister purchased a copy of the newly released children’s book at the event at the Belair Community College and was honored with a signature by the young writer.
"It is really good to see the St. Maarten Book Fair grow in what it is today, being one of the primary literature events in the North Eastern Caribbean," commented the PM. "And it is also very good to see a young and upcoming writer like Robin publish a children’s book that covers many important themes. With her book we can introduce our children to the love of reading from a very early age with a book that is set in our beloved country, and that is very, very important" commented the Prime Minister.
