Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Anna Makanda was born in Gweru, Zimbabwe, and raised in London, along with her older sister. Her father is Zimbabwean and her mother, Scottish. Growing up, Anna always dreamed of owning her own business. She started her career as an accountant but soon realised it was time to pursue her dreams. That was when she set up her own fitness brand. In her spare time, you will find her spending time with family and friends, chasing after her two very energetic children or writing a book or two!
Sharmane Barrett was born and raised in London, along with her five sisters. Her father is Jamaican and her mother, Trinidadian-English. Growing up, Sharmane was encouraged to pursue a career as a lawyer but after completing her legal studies, she soon realised that law was not for her. She began working in legal recruitment, which gave her an opportunity to live in Singapore for almost four years. Sharmane's passions are travelling and boxing; although these days there is a lot less travelling to exotic destinations, and a lot more time in the gym.

Are you excited about going on an adventure?
Join us on a journey across land and sea, taking you to Ghana, translated as ‘Warrior King’: the land of gold, diamonds, and cocoa, once known as the gold coast. It is a country with beautiful, rugged scenery, with rolling hills and lush tropical forests, full of an abundance of wildlife. This book will guide you through the country’s geography, people, culture, and beyond.
But there’s more here than meets the eye. Ghana has a great diversity of languages, communities, beliefs, and traditions. The people of Ghana are known for being very vibrant, respectful, open, and trusting, even when they don’t know you. They are strongly rooted in their culture.
You may be surprised to find that even though Ghana is filled with lots of things that are different to where you live, there are many similarities too.
Ghana is almost the same size as England and home to almost 30 million people, who speak approximately 80 different languages.
Perhaps you have Ghanaian heritage and you want to learn more about your roots, or you simply want to learn more about this amazing country. You will find some of the many special things about Ghana in this book, but there is so much more to discover. We hope that you will be able to travel all the way to Ghana and beyond someday.
