On Tuesday, poet Aurelia Sue-Ann celebrated her thirteenth birthday, three years since she published her book, A Little Poet’s World.
Aurelia, an eighth grader at Marian Academy has been writing since she was seven years old. After A Little Poet’s World, Instagram and Facebook accounts were created for her and she has been sharing new poems and positive messages. Of the 1,400 followers on Facebook and the more than 700 on Instagram, many are adults who admire Aurelia’s gift.
The young writer is also known for her amazing art skills and has attracted quite a number of fans who have requested that her art be printed on canvas and t-shirts, an experience she has described as “exhilarating”.
