More About Ricky Strachan

A Caribbean heritage was imprinted on him as he grew up and he realised quickly how different he was. Different skin, different music, different foods, and different disciplines. With a strong Caribbean upbringing, he found it challenging to understand where he fitted. There was a disconnect of being ‘English’.

This Book is Beautiful, Factual and Engaging

Empowering, fun and informative with contemporary vector illustrations, this book by Ricky Strachan starts with a conversation with his daughter, Mya, wondering why none of the kings in her history book look like her.

Ricky goes on to introduce her to great kings from the African continent (Pharaohs Khufu and Ramses II, Sultan Mansa Musa, King Mutota and King Matope, and Emperor Menelik II), famous for their culture and architecture, wealth, education, military might and strategy, these kings cover the breadth of the African continent and history. Fresh, colourful and educational. Perfect for schools and home.
