Ms. Callwood said she wrote the book during the 24 hour lockdown as a means to help students during their online sessions.

“It seemed like the most appropriate time to write this book. Also I know firsthand how challenging it can be at times to find material readily available in a single text to supplement various concepts that are being taught in the classroom.” Ms. Callwood explained.

The book will be launched on, March 31 at Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park at 5:30 p.m.in collaboration with the Department of Culture.
