Bourne hopes Bajan Anansi can spark reading revival among children

Acclaimed author Shakirah Bourne donated copies of her book, Bajan Anansi, to Milton Lynch Primary School in a bid to rekindle interest in reading among young Barbadians. This initiative is part of a larger effort by the National Cultural Foundation to promote local literature and cultural heritage. The move is significant as it underscores the importance of nurturing a love for reading from an early age, potentially fostering a new generation of readers and writers in Barbados. Bourne's efforts highlight a broader cultural revival, emphasizing the role of storytelling in preserving and celebrating national identity.
