Lighthouse Children Attend A Book Launch
Witty, spontaneous and a real entertainer – that’s how you’d describe well-known poet and author Jerry Pinto. Ahead of the launch of his new children’s book Postcards from Mumbai, the Goa-born writer conducted a story session at the Kitab Khana, the book haven at Flora Fountain, on Saturday February 8th. And, yes, 20 of our Lighthouse students from classes 1 to 3 got an opportunity to interact with him. The session began with a rapid fire trivia quiz on Mumbai with Jerry uncle, as he calls himself, tossing candy to those who gave the right answers. Throughout the 30-minute session, children were encouraged to cheer, clap, shout and dance. They even recited a poem from Jerry uncle’s book. A postcard-shaped memento and a wide grin were the takeaways from the event.
