My name is Sandra Amoako and I am a Ghanaian mother of two, author and publisher
dedicated to creating unique, fun, and educational multicultural children’s books. The inspiration
behind writing a bilingual, children’s book in Twi and English started when I was pregnant with
my first child. I always had the vision to teach my children Twi and I realized that there was a
need to publish bilingual children’s books when the kind of books I was looking for were
unavailable in bookstores or online.
In addition to my Ghanaian cookbook, “Akwaaba: A Taste of Ghana”, I have written and self-
published two bilingual books for early learning in the “What’s That?” book series.
All encompassing and well rounded, I recommend these books to any family with young children.
They are a wonderful way to spark your child’s curiosity to learn the alphabets and numbers,
understand that words convey meanings and increase vocabulary while at the same time
learning another language (Twi).
“My Numbers in Twi and English” is a colorful, illustrated, hard cover book that introduces the
concept of numbers, counting and vocabulary in English and Twi. The layout of the book
showcases numbers 1 through 20. Each page contains a number, unique illustrations in vibrant
colors and descriptions of the illustrations in both English and Twi.
“My Alphabets in Twi and English ” is a lively, illustrated, paperback book that introduces the
concept of letters and vocabulary in English and Twi. This book features both the Twi and
English alphabets and each page showcases each corresponding alphabet with colorful
illustrations.
“My Alphabets in Twi and English COLORING BOOK” and “My First Numbers in Twi and
English COLORING BOOK” are also available on Amazon. These coloring books will keep
your kids occupied for days! These coloring pages are easy to color and offer the perfect activity
for any kids; gatherings. This is a lively, illustrated, paperback book that introduces the concept
of numbers and vocabulary in English and Twi. This book features both the Twi and English
numbers and each page showcases each corresponding number with illustrations that your
children can color!
For families with Ghanaian heritage, your children will connect with their heritage and culture
and impress those around them! For non-Ghanaians alike, this will be a gateway to instill a love
of the Twi language and hopefully travel to Ghana and experience the culture!
The “What’s That?” bilingual book series is suitable for children of all ages and even adults! The great thing about these multifaceted books is that even if you cannot read or speak Twi, you will still be able
to enjoy the English section with your children.
