Colourful Cricketers Teach Kids Resilience

A new children’s book, Colourful Little Cricketers, uses cricket’s quirky “duck” term to teach kids resilience and perseverance through the story of a lovable duck named Ducky. Paired with a digital music album, it’s part of a fun, sports-themed literacy push tied to Bermuda’s cricket community day. Author Karen Franks sees cricket as a gateway to reading, aiming to tackle illiteracy by sparking imagination and critical thinking in young minds. With plans to translate the book into Spanish and Portuguese, launch a curriculum, and even write a sequel exploring cricket’s “ducks,” this initiative blends sports and stories to build confidence and a lifelong love of learning — all for just $20 at the event this Thursday.
