Saide’s African Storybook initiative aims to address the shortage of contextually appropriate picture storybooks for early reading in the languages of Africa. Our digital open licence publishing model is providing a growing number of storybooks in a growing number of languages without having to consider the size of the market for stories of a particular type in a particular language. To encourage and learn from use, we are working with teachers, librarians, teacher educators and literacy development organisations in Eastern and Southern Africa.
