A great shopping experience, efficient and a lovely book!
Great book! Definitely helps with reading time at summer school in Ankoma, Ghana!
Beautiful books! Really pleased – will be buying more as gifts. Thank you so much!
I came across these amazing books in a shop in east London and have not looked back since! The way the author simplifies information for children has been remarkable! Thank you.
Wow, what an exceptional book. Loved reading this with my niece and discovering her (and my) Akan name. This is a bit more advanced than 123 Counting in Twi and even though it’s a children’s book I really feel it’s aiding my Twi learning too. The break down for pronunciation is so good and easy to understand. Stunning illustrations too! These are such excellent books.
Can’t wait for the next one!
