Here’s what one reader originally from Guyana said:

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading these stores which are full of childhood memories for me of life in Guyana. The end of each story left me eagerly anticipating the next one. The stories contain lots of everyday advice for children (and adults) and will make a good impact on them if made available through the school system in Guyana. Keep up the good work.”

Go to Amazon and buy today! These books are being considered by the Guyanese Government for entry into the school system as a Creole resource.
