Ari Discovers How Georgetown Guyana Got Its Name!

About the Book

Author’s Note As an educator, I believe that learners remember History best when it feels alive, relatable and full of wonder. ‘Ari Discovers How Georgetown Got Its Name’ is the second book in a series of children’s books designed to introduce readers to Guyana’s colonial past in a gentle, fun and accessible way. In following Ari’s journey, young readers are able to explore how places are named, why history matters and how anyone can access information through research in an age when practically everything is on the internet. This book is a tribute to Guyana’s beauty and resilience, an encouragement to return to reading and a testimony of my own resilience. I love reading and hope that this book sparks conversations between children, parents and teachers about Guyana’s heritage, the importance of knowing where we come from and resilience.
