Featuring Children's Author, Juleus Ghunta

His new children's book Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story About ACEs and Hope will be published by CaribbeanReads on December 31st. The book is about a child who is haunted by "sinister shadows that fuel his fear of reading." Based on himself and a childhood friend who was also bullied and beaten, the story describes Rohan's friendship with a special book that helps him conquer his fears and develop a love of learning.
