Can you believe Christmas Day is next week?!  Hope you’re all more organised than I am!  Here’s the latest news on what’s happening in Bermuda:

 

Bermudian author Rosheena Beek will be signing copies of her book, Mommy Says!, at The BookMart in Brown & Co from Tuesday, December 16th to Thursday, December 18th.

This will be from noon until 2pm on each of the days. The following is a Facebook message from Janiece Montoya,Mental Health Counselor, working with delinquent mentally ill adolescents for the Third Way Center in Denver, CO. :

“Hey former school counseling classmates and teachers, Rosheena’s books are amazing on every level. I created a bibliotherapy school counseling lesson plan for “I Find it So Hard” and will gladly pass it along. Just inbox me your email if I don’t have it and I will send it ASAP. Rosheena is truly an amazing writer and your students will grow and learn from the experience.”
