Amy Desorbo, Director of the Division of Libraries, Archives and Museums (DLAM), shared her enthusiasm: “This is a milestone worth celebrating. Dr. Dixon has crafted a powerful coming-of-age story rooted in Caribbean culture that speaks directly to the hearts of our youth. His book is not only timely and culturally rich, but it also aligns beautifully with DLAM’s mission to empower young minds through literature. KJ’s journey of resilience, courage, and personal growth offers valuable lessons for navigating life’s challenges. I especially appreciated the nightly prayer reflections and the thoughtful reading comprehension activities included at the end. These tools are essential for helping children transition from learning to read to reading to learn, starting as early as second grade.” For more information or to RSVP, please contact DLAM Director Amy Desorbo at amy.desorbo@dpnr.vi.gov.
