In 2016, during one of their Geography lessons, the Year 2 and 3 class learners of Pioneers International Academy realized that they could not find any book about Ghana relevant to what they were learning. Taking inspiration from the books 50 Facts about California and 50 Facts about Pennsylvania, they decided to write their own book, 50 Facts about Ghana. Led by their homeroom teacher, the class gathered information from various research avenues to put together a book they hope will give kids like them important information about their country, Ghana. For the student, the world traveler, the curious person seeking to know more about Africa or Ghana, this book, written by an 8 and a 9 year old will be a great place to start.
