My earliest reading memory
The Green Kingdom from the Childcraft series. At four years old, I learned about chlorophyll and epiphytes and petrified forests. More importantly, I realised how wonderfully strange and enormous the world was out there.
My favourite book growing up
When I was little, every year, the Logos Hope, a ship constructed as a floating library would dock somewhere in Port of Spain. One of the books I took out was a tome-like workbook consisting of chapters of many other books such as JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, Jean Merrill’s The Toothpaste Millionaire and Jack London’s White Fang. Even though it was just a collection of snippets, I reread the book many times.
