Riassunto

This coloring book was designed for children to have fun while learning the Garifuna language. This coloring book will help them learn how to count up to ten as well as name some elements of our daily life in Garifuna. The Garifuna language originated in the Island of St. Vincent prior to the Garifuna people’s exile to Central America in 1797. The language is currently spoken by more than 100,000 Garifunas, mainly, in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, and in the United States. On May 21st 2001, the UNESCO declared the Garifuna Language, Dance, and Music a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”.
