For the past several years, the Stories by Children initiative has been fostering literacy among young minds both locally and in the diaspora, having successfully launched two children’s books: Stories by Children Volume 1 – Family and Volume 2 – When I Grow Up. This inspiring project continues to empower young authors and ignite a passion for reading and writing.
Now, the Stories by Children Committee is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated launch of Stories by Children Volume 3: Mission Mango – A Collection of Short Stories and Prose on May 31, 2025.
To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to an exciting Book Launch and Fun Fair from 11 AM to 6 PM at the Goodwill Primary School. This grand event promises an unforgettable experience for the entire family, packed with fun activities such as face painting, bouncy castle, arts & crafts, and exciting games!
Adding to the excitement, enjoy live performances from talented artists, including our very own Calypso Queen, Joy Stoute, as well as bouyon icon Sheldon “Shelly” from Signal Band. Indulge in delicious food and soak in the festive atmosphere!
Admission:
- Children:$5 OR enter FREE with the donation of a gently used book.
- Adults: $5 contribution.
All books collected will be donated to selected schools, reinforcing Stories by Children’s mission to nurture a love for reading. Proceeds from this event will support future initiatives, helping young writers continue to share their creativity with the world.
Join us as we celebrate the incredible talents of our young authors and inspire the next generation of storytellers!
