Children’s Book Tells Tale Of Early Bermuda

A recently released children’s book written by Bermudian Joanne Ball-Burgess works to weave an enjoyable fable of a forward-thinking lizard and his quest to help his brethren in re-telling the story of Bermuda’s discovery. Offering a look at not only Bermuda’s history, but also the power of dreaming big, “The Lizard and the Rock” provides 48 pages of story-telling and colourful illustrations.

The book’s official description says, “Salty waves splash against the beautiful island, while golden-green palm trees sway in the breeze. The scene is like a dreamy paradise, but life is hard for the lizards living on the tiny rock. Destined to carrying around a heavy load, the lizards accept life as it is, until one lizard, Sam, dreams of climbing to the top of the palm trees. This is a tale of dreams, discovery, and unknown worlds. This is the fable of Bermuda’s discovery.”

Known for her many creative endeavors, including music and dance, Ms. Ball-Burgess made headlines last year when she was caught up in the terrorist attack carried out on Nairobi’s upscale Westgate shopping mall that resulted in more than 60 deaths.
