Oliceia Tinnie

By Tieanna Jordan

Growing up, 29-year-old Oliceia Tinnie’s always doubted her abilities but with encouragement from family and friends, she persevered. Tinnie continued perseverance recently saw the publication of her second children’s book, titled ‘The Adventures of Daddy and Me.’

The beautifully illustrated book, which was published on July 13, 2022, tells the exciting tale of a little girl, as her dad takes her on a bicycle ride through their village—what appears to be a typical Guyanese village with all the familiar sights one would expect to find.

Tinnie explained that she decided on writing a children’s book because she always enjoyed the art of telling a story, especially children’s stories. “When it comes to children stories, children’s imagination tend to run wild. I enjoy the freedom of stretching the imagination, especially as it relates to children,” she happily shared with Stabroek Weekend.
