Baptiste Paul is a Caribbean-born author of three books for children. His debut picture book,  THE FIELD, received starred reviews from Kirkus, The Horn Book, and Booklist. According to Kirkus, his co-authored book ADVENTURES TO SCHOOL will “will pique readers’ curiosity.” His picture book biography I AM FARMER chronicles the work of Cameroonian environmentalist Tantoh Nforba. Born and raised on the island of Saint Lucia, Baptiste is a native Creole/Patois speaker who enjoys reading his books and sharing about his experiences with anyone who will listen.

Baptiste’s presentations include a powerpoint and Q&A session. Students learn the process involved in writing the book. Depending on the book, the students learn what it takes to write fiction or nonfiction. One of the key takeaways from every presentation is learning a few words in a different language. Baptiste speaks and writes in French Creole and sharing that part of his culture with others is exciting and very rewarding.

Baptiste can tailor his presentation to the needs of the instructor. It could be one presentation to multiple presentations.

Baptiste Paul also does presentations with his wife and co-author Miranda Paul.
