The rest of the book.

Hello everybody.

This is rest of my new book. We were supposed to do a page a day and then some days we had to skip school and some days our internet didn't work. Because it's working now we are just going to post the rest.

My mom laminated the pages and we got it bound into a real book in Jacmel, so now we can use it just like any other book! But only upstairs. Because it might get lost or ruined downstairs.


Thanks for keeping up. I am going to write another book in the series, but for now I am going to work on the game I am inventing called, "Adventure Dolls" so it might be a while.

I think that's it for today.

Love,
Nia

PS-- Leave me a comment about what is your favorite chapter and what is your favorite illustration.

PPS- My mom thinks the best illustration is chapter six. She doesn't have a favorite chapter yet.

John and Jack's Horrible Vacation coming soon!

Hi!

I just wanted to say that I am trying to make a book series about two cousins. I already made one book in the series called, "John and Jack's Horrible Vacation, Book 1: The Beach."

There are 8 chapters in this book. Every school day (which is Monday-Friday) I am going to post a new chapter on my blog. I already wrote the book, I am just working on illustrating it.

This is just the cover.


Hope you can see my book.

More tomorrow!

Love,
Nia

This is how my first day of school went.



Today I went to school. It was my first day of school. At first, I was kind of nervous but when I got there, I met a friend right away. I can’t remember her name. She speaks English. She speaks more English than Kreyol. She’s black but I don’t know if she’s Haitian or not. Here's a picture of me talking to her. Can't find me? Here's a hint-- I am the only white girl.


The teacher, Madam Nicole, said I was the best in the class. I wonder if I really am or if she was just saying that to make me feel good. It did make me feel good.


When I got to school today I thought I was supposed to be in second grade, but, when they took me to my class it turned out I was supposed to be in third grade. So, I had to look at someone else’s book during class and then buy the third grade books after class.


One thing that’s a little difficult is that the class is in French. I speak English and I speak Kreyol, but I only speak a little bit of French. So, thank goodness, I didn’t tell my teacher I speak French, so she is giving me two weeks to learn French and she will translate for me into Kreyol until then. So I guess I will speak French in two weeks. I was going to tell her that I didn’t need most of her translations, but then I remembered if she gave me some time to learn MORE French that would be better… so I kept it a secret.


I will keep you posted!

Love ,
Nia

Freckles

My mom and I were talking this morning and she was telling me I was getting freckles. I like freckles. I have them on my cheeks and on my nose. I told her I hope I get a lot of freckles. Wouldn't it be funny if I had so many freckles that I turned brown?

Manita points to my mom's freckles and asks what they are. My mom says, "That's where I am just a little bit Haitian." So now Manita asks everybody who has freckles if they are a little bit Haitian too!

Isn't that funny???
See, I have some freckles.
