4-H Clubs of Ebeye and Kwajalein Meet the Unbound Bookmaker!

2/13/2013

 
While visiting Kwajalein Atoll last month, I was able to meet with Susannah Prenoveau, who has lived on Kwajalein with her family for 15 years now and trains teachers as part of the Child, Youth, and School Services Program on the military base. I was very impressed with her experience and her passion for creating books (See her own books, which her children illustrated, at www.alligatorscoming.com and www.gottaseenathan.com). Susannah is taking charge of The Unbound Bookmaker Project on Kwajalein Atoll and organized an event with the Kwaj and Ebeye 4-H clubs on January 14, 2013.

After we gathered everyone together, I was able to explain to the children and leaders how the project started and what process we follow to publish new children's books. Susannah then read The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown (Ethel Nelson's inspiration for creating The Important Book about Majuro) and parts of The Important Book about Majuro to the kids. Susannah will be fundraising to do more books about Ebeye (interested parties please contact me).

The children were then given blank mini books and markers so they could create their own books, and after some snacks they shared some of their stories.

Thanks to Susannah, Jared, and everyone at the 4-H Club for participating! We are looking forward to the 12 WorldTeach books being read and distributed to as many children as possible in the Marshall Islands.
