A new activity book all about the island of St. Martin is out! Super St. Martin! is a unique bilingual activity book that invites young people to explore and celebrate the amazing nature and heritage of the island. It is published in both English and French.
This has been published by French side nature organisation, Les Fruits de Mer. It has more than 100 pages of discovery and fun, with mazes, word games, colouring pages, creative writing activities and much more. The book features more than 150 plants and animals that can be seen in St. Martin, including some that are only found here and nowhere else in the world.
“It’s important for kids to have books about where they live. Imagine doing a word search with local names for birds, inventing short stories about this island’s night creatures, dreaming up a new kind of insect, or creating a beautiful floral pattern for a traditional dress,” said author Jenn Yerkes. The co-founder of Les Fruits de Mer also points out that it’s nice for anyone learning a language, since every activity is in both English and French.
