Mr Richardson believes that reading is a powerful tool, therefore, a library has been created to receive the young people of the neighborhood, “there is no more effective way than reading to rise in life, we want that children understand the importance of reading and that they can encourage their own parents to read; we invite young people to come to this place to borrow books or to use the computers to do research for their homework. "

"Ignacio and Chichibird" tells the story of the Ignacio iguana, hero of the author's first work, and of a sugar bowl; everything opposes the Ignacio iguana and the Chichibird sugar bowl but, despite their great differences, they will nevertheless end up becoming friends after facing a hurricane together.
This book makes it possible to address the theme of friendship that can exist despite the differences, the book raises awareness of the importance of the other to be able to go through difficult times and finally, it offers children a reflection on the protection of l 'environment. The book, which is nicely illustrated by the author's line, Milkaya Laijah, also allows us to address a traumatic memory: “after the cyclone I looked for materials that dealt with this subject to discuss it with the students, such as I didn't find anything, so I wanted to write a book that would interest the children here since they experienced this event ”explains Jocelyne Arnell.
The two books of the adventures of Ignacio are available for purchase online ou directly with the author.
