About our books

Our mission

The I LOVE SHONA series is designed to help young children in the diaspora discover the Shona language. Often, children’s books are the first introduction they have to reading and learning, and by creating a book that is both engaging and educational, children can not only learn Shona itself but also the cultural traditions and practices associated with it.

Beautifully designed books

The beautiful illustrations in the book can also help to spark children’s imaginations and encourage them to engage with the language and culture on a deeper level.
