The BIS Publications' Christmas / Pre Kwanzaa Book Launch
The BIS Publications' Christmas / Pre Kwanzaa Book Launch on December 17th 2011 was a major success. Both Natasha John-Baptise and Solabomi Conteh launched their books Maiza & Matura Meets Alexander Miles: The Inventor and Tasty Tropical Treats respectively.
Those who attended found that it was a great way to start their festive season. It was a great afternoon which was enjoyed by both individuals and families. Solabomi Conteh entertained the audience with song, rhyme and not forgetting a taste of her tasty tropical foods. With emphasise placed particularly on African & African Caribbean foods and music it made us all feel as though Solabomi brought the Caribbean and Africa to Hackney Central library.
Natasha John-Baptise captivated the children by taking them to history land to meet the great black inventor Alexander Miles; as she engaged them, Alexander Miles suddenly appeared from the back of the audience. He walked briskly to the front to introduce himself and his invention after he finished he handed the presentation back to Natasha and disappeared (although not literally). Natasha's presentation was both entertaining, fun and educational.
BIS Publications also gave space to the children to express their talents to the audience and they were not disappointed. Oleander and Toyin's ten year old daughter Infinity who has recently written and published her own book. Told her story of why and how she wrote the book, it was very inspiring and moving. Infinity's story motivated the adult wannabe authors to start writing.
Then there was 6 year old Joshua who has a reading age of any fluent reading adult. Joshua was recently in the national papers for his reading achievements as he has recently won awards from Oxford University.
We ended in the usual BIS Publications fashion with everyone acknowledging in song that our children are our future. All in all it was a beautiful day enjoyed by all.
