first book

It was finally finished, proofread and ready to be printed!

Our fist Chess workbook that was written, created in Belize and illustrated by our own artists. You can see the faces of artists below.

As you know during the summer chess art camp at Sibun Lodge, the following students worked very hard on illustrating first Belizean chess workbook:

Albert Cus- Toledo

Fitzroy Chan- Stann Creek

Omar Pulido - Cayo

Rasheed Palacio - Cayo

Wilson Cruz- Cayo

This books is intended for children and adults who want to learn chess. It is fun to read and teaches you more than just chess-teaches you history and geography as well. See few images from the book and illustrators at work:

During the illustration process all the illustrators had to do research in the art and history books, so that the images that they were creating would fit into the geographical locations mentioned in the story.

Special Thanks to Becki and John Shannon's family! They were driving everyday with their own kids to the camp, so that they could guide us all in the right direction, they stayed extra hours to review the work that was done during the day. THANK YOU!
