Laura Henry-Allain MBE
“Even though we have the internet and children can use electronic devices, nothing beats the sensory awareness of a paper book for children to escape into.
“I sincerely hope that the library continues to flourish!”
Magdalena Fielden, Chairperson of the Grenada Community Library writes:
“We were thrilled to host Laura Henry-Allain MBE at the Grenada Community Library. She shared an inspirational storytelling session with a group of primary school children from St George’s and St Louis.
“The pupils loved hearing all about JoJo and Gran Gran, and we look forward to welcoming Laura back to the library again very soon.”

Kevin Grevioux
Kevin Grevioux, creator of Rise of the Djinn and Darkstorm, talks about creating Black superheroes in a way that's authentic and culturally relevant, while also being action-packed and nostalgic. Both stories explore the morality of complex, flawed, and relatable characters, and how spirituality is intertwined with the morality of Black characters.
Grevioux also discusses the importance of bringing a cultural layer to the characters and inspiring people while exploring the ideas of morality, spirituality, and authenticity. He hopes to return to the core of true heroism while allowing his characters to have their imperfections while still fighting selflessly for the greater good.
