Sint Eustatius Through the Arts - a coloring book created to raise awareness of the rich and robust history and cultural heritage of Sint Eustatius.
We are happy to have worked together with the Department of Culture and Events in creating this coloring book and we are excited to continue to work with them on future projects.
We also want to thank Daniela V Richardson Roosberg for reaching out to us and trusting us with this amazing project.

Teaching children the power of positive self -talk early is a great way to build resilience for any challenges and can help in building confidence.
Have you encouraged your child(ren) to speak positively to themselves lately? ๐ซ

๐We proudly present our 2nd coloring book! ๐
This coloring book is dedicated to all coily, kinky and curly hair kids. We want them to love and embrace their natural coils, kinks and curls and know that they are beautiful no matter the texture of their hair.
This book highlights tools, products and hairstyles used to maintain Afro hair and it inlcudes a short "hair-story" of Afro Hair.
Our book will be available for purchase on Monday the 14th of February!!! ๐

Het doel van de uitgeverij: afrocentrische, jongens en meisjes positieve rolmodellen en voorbeelden geven waarin ze zichzelf terug kunnen zien en herkennen.
