THE LITTLE COTTAGE LIBRARY ON LONG ISLAND FEATURES "ISLAND SURPRISE"!

 

Pictured with a hardcover copy of “Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” by yours truly: Eight-year-old Henry Forsyth, who was chosen at The Little Cottage Library of The Bahamas, Glinton’s, Long Island, Bahamas, to be the first to borrow this fun adventure story of family togetherness, simplicity and resilience from the library.

Susan L. Koster, who is co-founder of The Little Cottage Library along with Jodi Maley, said: “Henry was chosen to be the first to borrow Island Surprise as he is an avid reader and I knew he would enjoy it!” Susan is also Director of C.R.A.B. – “Caught Reading a Book” Book Club, which fosters a love of reading for primary school students.

Henry’s mother Lillian Forsyth said: “We surely enjoyed reading your book. It reminded me so much of my childhood. Henry and I read it together. Your book surely depicts life back in the 1980's on the islands. Thank you so much for writing such an amazing book!”

What a lovely compliment from Lillian! Island Surprise is actually set in the present day, but I intended to show children what it used to be like on a Bahamian Family Island and to explain to them that life can really be quite simple. Island Surprise also educates them about such island occupations as grinding corn and shelling peas!

“Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and as an e-Book at ISLAND SURPRISE: A BAHAMIAN ADVENTURE . Paperbacks are also available locally at Logos Bookstore, Harbour Bay, Nassau, Bahamas.
