The Fernance and Cyrilla Family Club (FCFC) is proud to announce that efforts are continuing in its drive in giving children an avenue to develop a love for reading and writing.  Additionally, children are being encouraged to channel their expressions and thoughts through poems and short stories and these are compiled into a book.  

As you may recall, the first book titled Stories by Children Volume 1 – “Family” was launched and is now available for purchase at Jays Book Store, and from family members.  The children’s book is also available for order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The second volume, titled Stories by Children Volume 2 – “When I grow up” is well on its way to be made available to the public.  For this book compilation, a literacy competition was held among children in Dominica and in the Diaspora earlier this year.  The entries from different age category will form part of the book along with entries from children of the family.

The Club wishes to congratulate the winners of each age category which are as follows:
