Baptiste Paul Meet and Greet
1-29-2021
Saint Lucia
During the Baptiste Paul meet and Greet, I and many other students received the opportunity to Zoom with author Baptiste Paul. Baptiste Paul talked to each of us describing his journey from St. Lucia to Green Bay. He described to us parts of his childhood and the experiences he had in St. Lucia, and during his travels, that inspired his children's books. I did learn that life in St. Lucia is slightly similar to that in India. Some of Baptiste Paul's childhood also related to ours here in the US, as all around the world children love to play outside in the neighborhood until sunset. The meet and greet with Baptiste Paul helped me develop a broader understanding of the world by showing how inspiration can come from personal experience, and there are many experiences, great and small, rich and poor can result to happy memories despite the perspective that we have that experiences have to be large and grandiose to have value.
