In today's Community of Practice meeting, our Masifunde Sidlala Partners were hard at work reviewing and refining the stories they wrote in our April Storyshop. We are so excited about these three new stories written by our partners for the children in their own communities! The next step is to brief our local artisits who will be bringing the storyies to life with contextually relevant beautiful illustrations.

At Little Zebra Books, we love cardboard boxes! Because inside those boxes are thousands of beautiful books just waiting to be distributed to children in Africa. In this photo, Nombulelo is seen with books that have just arrived in isiXhosa for our Masidufnde Sidlala partners.

Children from across the community of Domue in Mozambique gathered to share in the joy of reading. As part of the "Tiri Pa Modzi!" project, children read books, recited memorized passages, and performed skits based on their Little Zebra book. This is just one of many weekly gatherings across Tete Province operated by Children's Hope in Christ and using our books.

Believe it or not, Little Zebra Books has never had a book about a zebra! We're changing that and asking you to give us ideas. How did Zebbie get her stripes? Let us know in the comments and your idea might feature in our next book.

With our new partners joining us for the Community of Practice yesterday, we had a bumper turn out! It was a jam packed session, with partners checking translations on two new books and learning about how to create a positive environment for an enjoyable reading time with the children in their programmes. They shared feedback from last month's book and how proud they were to be handing out a book that they themselves had written! We also shared that we are going to be taking 3 new stories forward from the Storyshop we held last month. It is such a privelege to be working alongside these incredibly creative partners doing amazing work in their communities.
