Hi guys, thank you for visiting my website. My name is Makaylah Safiya Williams and this is my first book, which is based on a true story. I am 9 years old at the time of writing this message.

 

I bravely travelled to The Gambia despite having fears about lions roaming the streets. When I arrived, I discovered that television did not tell the full story about Africa; there were no lions to be found only beautiful people from the African Diaspora with amazing stories to tell.

 

Parents agree this is a great bedtime companion for children aged 8+. Educators can use the quiz page at the back of the book as well as the poetry challenge for classroom learning activities.

 

'My First Trip to The Gambia' is a great way to teach children more about the continent of Africa and develop their confidence, self-esteem and sense of adventure.
