I thank God for every day that I can breathe and I am very grateful to him for the wisdom and desire he has given me for everything to do with literary art. I love everything that has to do with rhyme, poetry, songs, jokes, riddles and stories.

​

I am very happy to be the daughter of my parents Eroditha and Juan and I love them very much. I also want to thank my sisters Brendalique and Angelique for their unconditional contribution. My niece and nephew Tessally and Terrence for inspiration. My husband Gerald for his support and patience with my poetic spirit. And of course the rainbow of my life: "My baby Tiarah".

 

Thanks to Thelma Anthonia who revised the book and to Muriel Meyer for her valuable educational advice.

​

I am very happy with the financial contribution of the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Caribisch Gebied.

​

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed in one way or another to the creation and publication of this book.
