He wrote his first book at seven years when his teacher noticed he could write very well through a class assignment.

This push made Nicholas Buamah, now 10 years an author with his series titled Kayla and Kyle: The Walking Dictionaries: Election Day, which is catalogued in the US Library of Congress.

When this young bestselling author on Amazon, who has also won many awards through his philanthropic works, sat down with Joy News, he recounted how ”it all started when my first-grade teacher told my mum how impressed she was with my vocabulary.

"Then, my mum thought, if my teacher is excited, then others too would be. So she came up with the idea of writing a book, and that’s how the journey started.’’

The book series introduces children to advanced vocabulary through the story of the twins, Kayla & Kyle, who had to compete against each other for the class prefect.

Analyzing his first book signing, Nicholas says he felt so “great and excited to see so many people buy his book."

When asked if the scene put an extra burden on him, knowing the expectation may be huge, he said ‘it rather encouraged me."

In fact, when he laid in bed that night Nicholas, described his feeling then as “amazing.’’

Nicholas, who resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with his parents Dominic and Danielle, said he enjoys having fun and playing basketball. He mentioned rice or boiled plantain with 'kontomire' stew with a broad smile as his favourite meal.

Nicholas says he would love to be a mechanical engineer and also build libraries across the country through his charity works.

He states how he desires "to see children in Ghana exhibit their potential without setbacks and also wants guardians, teachers and the society to encourage children to pursue their goals once identified."

Nicholas believes "age is not a barrier’’ and so he urges other children like him to "know that they can do anything they put their minds to, but to ask for help from parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents if need be.’’

He also pleaded with guardians to help children identify their potentials and invest in making the dreams of their children a reality.
