Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Anna Makanda was born in Gweru, Zimbabwe, and raised in London, along with her older sister. Her father is Zimbabwean and her mother, Scottish. Growing up, Anna always dreamed of owning her own business. She started her career as an accountant but soon realised it was time to pursue her dreams. That was when she set up her own fitness brand. In her spare time, you will find her spending time with family and friends, chasing after her two very energetic children or writing a book or two!
Sharmane Barrett was born and raised in London, along with her five sisters. Her father is Jamaican and her mother, Trinidadian-English. Growing up, Sharmane was encouraged to pursue a career as a lawyer but after completing her legal studies, she soon realised that law was not for her. She began working in legal recruitment, which gave her an opportunity to live in Singapore for almost four years. Sharmane's passions are travelling and boxing; although these days there is a lot less travelling to exotic destinations, and a lot more time in the gym.

Are you excited about going on an adventure?
Join us on a journey across land and sea, taking you to Jamaica, the land of wood and water, once known to its natives as ‘Xaymeca’? It is a Caribbean island rich with fruits and spices, with a landscape that ranges from soaring mountains and tropical rainforests to sprawling meadowlands and dramatic coastlines. This book will guide you through the country’s geography, people, culture, and beyond!
But there’s more there than meets the eye: Jamaica has a diversity of communities and traditions. The people of Jamaica are known for having a carefree warmth. They pride themselves on being very entertaining – the life of the party.
You may be surprised to find that even though Jamaica is filled with lots of things that are different to where you live, there are many similarities too.
Jamaica is about 22 times smaller than England and home to over 2.5 million people who have different ethnicities, languages, and religions.
Perhaps you have Jamaican heritage and you want to learn more about your roots, or simply want to learn more about this amazing country. You will find some of the many special things about Jamaica in this book, but there is so much more to discover. We hope that you will be able to travel all the way to Jamaica and beyond someday.
