　　The year just keeps getting better for new, young author Sierra Blair - her latest book appearing in the iconic Atlantis resort and now high praise from high-ranking education officials.

　　"I hope that through her writing we would be able to motivate the young people in our school systems. One of our challenges is the capability within literacy(读写能力) and it is clear that the gift is there, it's only a matter of exploring it so I'm very impressed and also grateful to her parents for encouraging her to take this very important step of publishing," said Jeffrey Lloyd, Minister of Education during a one-on-one sit down and conversation. The young author caught media attention last year after publishing her first book on Amazon. The newest and independently published children's book "Roman and the Pink Flamingos" is inspired by Sierra's three-year-old brother, Roman.

　　"It's frightening to bring something to the public that you've put a lot of work into and someone could very easily tear it apart or tease me, 'It's not good enough.' Although I have my family and others in my corner, to meet persons in power and get a positive feedback from them makes me feel like I'm on the right path," said Sierra.

　　During the conversation, the governor general Dame Pindling asked about the book and creative process involved(涉及) in bringing the series to life. She urged Sierra to not only write children's fiction but to one day work deeper into the fabric (结构) of the nation, documenting what she observed. "She encouraged me in my creative pursuits and praised me for being independent in my professional development. I deeply enjoyed our conversation," said Sierra.

　　Sierra wasn't the only one to be moved by the visit.
